Hardly unusual. I see probably 5-10 Landies like that a week....

[dollywobbler]

Turbocharged 2286cc eh? Methinks not...

[Guest]

Happens all the time with Minis too. Surely any MOT tester would pick up on this, but can they actually do anything about it or is it up to the police to pull it over if seen being used on the road?

[pogweasel]

Feds are only bothered if it's been rung onto a stolen base, otherwise it's straighforward case of depriving the treasurary to the tune of £190 a year, hardly going to call in the fraud squad. MoT testers don't necessarily know the difference between the years, and can't be expected to know the historical differences of every car ever made, only an enthusiast would know...VOSA checkpoints is the only time this fella's going to get knobbled.

[pbottomley]

Common on Vivas as well.

Too bloody right and the fuzz should be doing something more important than getting tax for a car that's prob paid 25 years of tax already! Come to think of it, if a car is more than 10 years old its paid its dues, as that's when the gov own scrapie scheme slips in !!!

[Owain-328i]

someone should shop the c**t.Im paying road tax, why the hell shouldent he.

[Guest]

Er, has he swapped an old body and bulkhead onto a new chassis to qualify for pre 73 free tax?Sorry, I'm pretty ignorant on how Land Rovers go together.

[pogweasel]

Probably done none of the above, Wat. Just slapped on a Pre-73 chassis plate & number plates and files down the original number that's actually stamped into the vehicle frame. For older ones it's even easier, as up until '79 (I think) the only ID on the body was the chassis tag, secured to the bulkhead in the cab with 4 screws...

[Albert Ross]

Yup, it's a ringer indeed. Not a very good one either. It has a genuine 90 style chassis, axles, and other parts. The body counts for nothing, but it is indeed a 90 body. Logged and to be reported..................I have my little contacts! (You ain't seen me right)

[Guest]

Not just old Landie buff trying it on either

Its still there

[FredTransit]

The CF is the same as the transit in so far as from the front doors back, it's the same body shell, so you can put the later front end on it. So from one pic I would give the CF the benefit of the doubt. If it was a Mk1 transit with a Mk2 front end (or a Mk2 transit ringer) I could tell you otherwise. I know of at least one Mk2 full custom van on the scene that's had the campanology treatment!

[Volksy]

Whats up with the Saab?they came out in 1960 didn't they??

[Guest]

Whats up with the Saab?they came out in 1960 didn't they??

Yes but its been sat there since around 1978-its taxed and shows up on the insurance database. Plods not interested but someone somewhere has been conned

[pogweasel]

Whats up with the Saab?they came out in 1960 didn't they??

Yes. But that ones a tarp-covered snotter. To be taxed, it's gotta be MoT'd, and for that it's gotta be mobile. And not rotting under a cat piss tarp.I would guess that there's a shiney late-model 96 running around bearing the same number on it.

[Volksy]

Ah, got ya, durrr.. should be blonde here

Hey Fred, check this out and tell us if theres anything confirming its vintage either way, bear in mind DVLA reckon its colour is blue.

[Volksy]

 

 

That was my 1969 one, and from memory, the basic bodyshell was the same, bar the lights and bumpers etc.

[FredTransit]

Yeah seeing those back lights in the other thread, it does look like a CF2. I don't know enough about em to be 100% sure.

Its a 1980's CF

[dollywobbler]

Bear in mind, the CF2 is NOT the same as a CF facelift. Our camper, with the revised snout and 'Bristol' rear lights, is a CF facelift. The CF2 looks exactly the same, but ditched the old Victor engine.I didn't know this before last week!

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Feds are only bothered if it's been rung onto a stolen base.

But the cops are as thick as pigshit anyway.A mate of mine spotted a 1992 E30 Convertible on Ebay, one of the very last in a funky metallic (neon?) green, complete with correct stripey trim, M40 engine, 'smiley' headlamps etc.But it was wearing a 1986 C plate. The reg number came up on DVLA as a 318i Convertible in green. He checked the plate and VIN with BMW/HPI and it came back as a blue 4 door 318i saloon. He rang the Cops and told them. They went out to inspect the car and they 'found nothing amiss'. Well, apart from the engine, lights, trim, colour, lack of a roof and two doors. Mate even told the plod where to find the hidden chassis number (on the ECU) and an old Glass's Guide would have told them that the 318i Convertible didn't appear until late 1989.Fucking retards. A total and utter wrong 'un right under their nose and the stupid twats STILL couldn't see anything wrong!

[FredTransit]

I thought there was supposed to be a special squad for car crime and ringers? Or are they only interested when it's nearly new cars?

[Father Ted]

Or when Jamie Theakston and a camera crew are following them

[FredTransit]

Yeah that would be it.....

[Spottedlaurel]

Colour of this Transit makes me think of later MkI, not J-reg like plate says...

 

 

 

What do you think Fredtransit?

[Negative Creep]

Aren't 90% of old Transits in hat colour scheme anyway?

[FredTransit]

Yeah that's a phase2. The front grille, and the indicators are phase2, but unless it's had new back doors the handle is facing the wrong (right) way. 1972 was the cut off for phase1, so it could be a really early phase2. Again I would have to give that one the benefit of the doubt until I saw the inside. Oh and it's got Mk2 phase1 rear lights on it.

[pogweasel]

Looks like a "Trigger's Broom" to me...

[FredTransit]

Aren't 90% of old Transits in hat colour scheme anyway?

Erm, no. None of mine are anyway....
