Hi, If there's a quick and comprehensive FAQ or info. source somewhere about this please point me in that direction and read no further. I thought this would be easy to find out about but it seems it's not.
/ 5spd / modern diesel conversion to a pre-73 landrover and keep it's tax-exempt status. But surely people do this? How risky is it? Or don't you mention that on here!! ;-) I want to get a Designa 88" coil conversion chassis for a IIA. I want to keep the IIA body and bulkhead, to the untrained eye it will be the same vehicle. The IIA already has a V5C. If I hadn't looked on the DVLA website, I'd have just done the work, got it MOT'd, gone to the post office to pick up my (free) tax disc and not thought any more about it. Or would the MOT tester have pointed out that I need an SVA check? Seems unlikely. Having to tax it is bad enough but having to get a horrible Q-prefix number is perhaps worse. Can anyone put me to rights here? I thought this would be a much-discussed topic in Landrover circles. Cheers, Ruaridh.
