I have watched a number of Kit, 4 x 4, Restoration build programs on numerous occasions recently, in particular a “4 x4 is Born recently and are keen to start a Off road 4x4 that can be used legally on the road as well.


I was in the process of sourcing panels etc from a 4x4 specialist when he basically poured cold water on the use of the Range Rover chassis saying that I will encounter problems  with VOSA registering and taxing the vehicle, even though I have owned the donor Ranger  Rover myself for 10 years, also the same vehicle is not tax exempt being a 1987 model.  The 4x4 specialist said it would be far better to use the 110 chassis and remove 10” from the mid chassis, welding in angle sections by drilling a series of holes then plug welds before finally over plating the joints. Please can you pass your comments on VOSA and method outlined as the specialist suggests your program could be outdated by VOSA regulations.

Welcome.
The whole area around the SVA is fairly complex, much has been written: do a google search SVA test land rover.  Bear in mind that Mark Evans will have spent the best part of £20k giving birth to that 4x4.
