How hard would it be...
90sam:
Looks lovely but seeing as im only 16 i doubt that i could afford it! Looks lovely though! Think i may as well just spend my money on mods for my disco and just brave the insurance and tax!
Muddy:
You cannot build a tax exempt hybrid unless you use
a)a pre 1972/3 rr asyour base
or
b)Get a pre 1972/3 series and then fit a pattern coil sprung chassis with rr axlels but you would then have to keep everything else standard
It would be far easier and cheaper to buy an early 90 or 110 that has the right engine etc for what you want and run that although ins is still high.
For cheap insurance at 17 a landy aint the best place to be looking tho.
winx:
I am looking into insurance at the moment for a second discovery to save the current one from damage. The NFU who I am currently with quoted me £1550 fully comp for an L plate 200tdi commercial worth £1500 :lol:
Rang Graham Sykes who I insure my beach buggy with and they quoted me £245 fully comp for it, with mods such as lift, wheels/tyres, winch etc. Wonder which one I will go with! :D
The quotes were based on me being 24, second car, garaged and mileage limited to 8k a year. Let me know if you need a number and I can dig it out. :)

See... hmm insurance is depressing.. im thinking of getting a hybrid but i want to straight swap for my disco... but i want one that is tax exempt and doesnt need that much doing to it :? Quite like the look of lightweight hybrids! How hard is it to convert a v8 on su's to lpg?
I keep changing this thread so much! AS my mind changes!

You might want to consider that a 3.5litre engine will likely count against you if you're only 17 :)
