As mentioned elsewhere, I saw 2 rather nice 110's this afternoon in Wetherby

The first one was a Double-Cab in a vibrant shade of green, complete with a yellow chassis.
At first glance as I did when I encountered it, it looks great.
However, look at the registration.

How can he legally have a coil-sprung, Tdi'd, double cab that was supposedly manufactured in 1967/68.
Is it worth the possible fine, hassle & (possible?) criminal record in order to save £170.00?

Obviously there may be a perfectly legitimate reason for this, but I just can't think of one off-hand.

The other was far better (in my opinion) a gorgeous 110 Heritage.
Bronze Green, but let down bythat grill & the silvered hinges
They even have green leather seating as well! (even the sideways facings)

Believe it, or not, that's the standard grill as factory fitted.

A Heritage is still high on my shopping list, but I think I'd have to get a 'proper' (Series 1, 2 & 2A style) mesh grille manufactured.

Unless it's a cherished plate then I'd start to wonder if it wasn't built from stolen cars anyway.  Under the points system you can in theory rebuild a car over a period of years but how you would justify a replacement chassis that wasn't compatible with the original axles I can't see.

So could I :D
Mindst you I'd have to get rid of;
Those awful side-steps as well, & some fit proper folding steps.
Not too keen on those alloys, fit some Wolf/130 steel rims
That A-bar

I might as well get a standard 110CSW :D  (or at least store the steps & rims)

I thought you could transfer any registration onto a vehicle as long as it was older than the vehicle.  For example a mate of mine has an N reg Range Rover with an H plate on it because it makes up his company name.

So maybe the F plate has always been on the family Land Rover.  As long as the V5 says it's a 2001 double cab it can have any earlier plate.

It's not a real car unless it's over 30 years old!
Classic cars are the ones who's owners wave to each other. I just bought a pretend car! F plate 90!

That's quite true, but it was an unusual combination of letters & suggests the exemption route.
I may be wrong, but you get suspicious after seeing so many tax-exempt coil-sprung V8 Series motors for sale in various LR magazines & 'Auto-Trader'

If you know the reg mark and model you can get the vehicle details from the DVLA website

That's......... interesting...

The DVLA says that there's 22 years between the Crew-Cabs (supposed) 'Year Of Manufacture', & its 'Date Of First Registration' :?

I also use a service from the RAC (free to register), it gives some extra information. Though it's not a substitute for a full HPI check, it's still very useful as an initial check when going to look at a secondhand car.
