Hello guys,
RR Blues has a very valid point,
there is a system that you have to use that is available form the DVLA or their Special Vehicle Officer.
They will assess your vehilce to see if it will be tax exempt.
they have a points system, I'm not sure of how it scores but it is something like this..............
Original chassis 2 points...
original engine 1 point
origianal gearbox 1 point,
Suspension 1 point,
body 1 point,
I think you have to score 12 points to keep the origanal reg & there fore tax exempt if it is tax exempt.
it's all available via DVLA/SVO.
Cheers...................

8pts to keep the original reg, and thought the chassis was 5 pts?
Yoshi:
Scoring components
The following values will be allocated to the major components used:
* chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points
* suspension = 2 points
* axles = 2 points
* transmission = 2 points
* steering assembly = 2 points
* engine = 1 point
Range Rover Blues:
I thought eh engine was only a point (not that I remembered the others :roll: ) but it's not very important in the scheme of things.
Basically as I understood it a monocoque with the rear axle/suspension would be able to keep the log book.
I'd suggest then that the chassis plus either axles or suspension plus the steering should suffice.
Does a new/recon steering box susbstituted for the original count as original? as you will be keeping the steering column and all the drag links then a new PAS box would be ok.
Yoshi:
Double checked its definately only 8pts you need, and am sure the chassis and body only counts the body if the chassis and body are part of one another, so in the case of land rovers (older ones) the body isnt classed on the points system :D
