miketomcat Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm sorry but there is no way that's been through an IVA. I've read the manual and I don't expect mine to pass first time and mine is considerably better built than that. It can't be a land rover because the chassis etc isn't. If it was done years ago it would of failed the Vic thus triggering an sva and it would of failed that by the looks of it (and yes I've built a car for sva as well).

Bowie69 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Well indeed, I also know the manual.... I've no idea what he actually means by dvla inspected.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynic-al Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 As it's on the line stating the engine and body type I assume the seller means the V5 has been correctly changed to match and the DVLA inspection was to check engine number and body type rather than road worthiness? I'm not sure what the point of all that work was? What was the end goal? You can buy ugly underpowered 2wd pickups for less with much bigger load bays and built in a factory from standard parts. I think the guy was just trying to clear his shed of all the parts lying around from the last 30 years and this is what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear engine, everything backwards, upside down and back to front. Could be quite genius if it was done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcock Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The idea is one I have thought about, but the build looks a little too much diy. One of the members of the club I belong to has built a very professional looking camper box on the rear of his Disco with a popup roof which looks the part and has served them well on trips abroad.

Bowie69 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Have to say that is pretty cool, but only worth a third of the asking, if that. *edit* just seen how they registered it.... sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
