How hard would it be...
beatmasterdave:
yo! im 18 ang got cheaper insurance on my disco cos its a commercial with 2 seats, under van insurance. i had a toyota hilux before and same for that. the number of seats affects our insurance prices a lot at our age, probibly because taking people around is more harmful than taking goods around.
a vehicle that has been modified may bring the insurance price right up because it's been modified. duno really, hope that helps, goodluck!

so my best bet is to look for a hybrid built on a tax exempt range rover chassis cause then your just changing the body, am i corrcet? haha its so confusing may as well stick with me disco
Guardian.:
to be legal it is not at all confusing to be tax exempt it has to be a pre 1972 or 1973 not sure, , not part or bits of, basically the whole thing.
you would get away with a series and putting a defender body on it, but that would be it, you do have to keep the same axles, suspension, brakes etc.
as redline said it is done on a points system, and basically if you change more than 1 major component, you do not have enough points to keep it registered as origional.
however,
we all know in the real world, people just buy an old recker and swap the plates over, this is fine until you have an accident, then you are in the plop, no insurance, and evading tax!
depends on how your cut out.

no it couldnt...
cos the only things that would be tax exempt is the vin & panels & the panels count for hehaaw in the scoring system

What about the egine and axels etc? They would be series so count towards the tax exempt bit too. It would only be the body your taking off the series to put the disco shell on.
