I read it as being built on an early 90s chassis rather than being done in the early 90s.

For you Ross ;)

Wouldn't the claim of it being done early 90's make it so? Although to be fair that means he took an almost brand new 110 at the time to make it.

It might make it a legal vehicle, but it is still an early 110, but if that vehicle was scrapped, no it isn't!

Please explain more Bowie, am a bit thick this morning and re-read that 10X and still not understanding :blush:

He used an 'early 110 chassis', from a donor vehicle, as the chassis carries the registration not the body, the 109 should actually be the 110, with all it's registration details. If however, the owner scrapped that 110 (i.e. told DVLA that it had been scrapped, not actually cut up the chassis) then the chassis has no registration, and therefore there's no possibility of registering it as the 110, as it should be.

Make any more sense? :)

Actually very impressed by that :ph34r:

Although it does remind me of a Hi-lux that we built up as a sprayer and a fert spreader with extreme floaty tyres on when I worked on the farm, it was hydraulic drive too so just a spool lever in the cab.

The last bit of the advert should say .. this vehicle will not be tax free until DVLA seriously change their view on vehicle identity :-)

Its odd but for some reason hardtops on light weights never seem to look or fit right to me. I think the capping is the same width but they always seem just too wide. Maybe its my imagination.
