Conrad D. Conelrad Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 When you ring a car I feel like you should put, like, some amount of effort in. That thing is one step above just having the 1973 VIN number written on a Post It tucked under the windscreen wiper.

A friend of mine had a 1976 RR that the previous owner replaced the body in the 90s with a later classic body. While he was there he chucked a 6.2 v8 GM Diesel engine in it. It was a beast. But because the Range Rover/discovery are so interchangeable over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true (although I highly doubt it's what has happened in this case...), but if it has a later body, a later interior and a later engine, then presumably it doesn't meet the DVLA criteria for retaining its original identity? neil1971 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but I'm betting they've not been told. If it's historically registered no one knows nor is there anyone looking. Unless it's involved in an accident and the cops look over it forensically.
