I remember seeing a very short 90 at one of the shows this year, maybe the
LRO one.

The rear wheels were almost poking out beyond the rear crossmember. I
think the owner had a website and was selling the vehicle too, can't
find any more info though.

Yet another dodgy "tax exempt 1963 Defender".

I know that there's no black and white definition of a vehicles identity (
no matter what the DVLA web site might suggest) and that the vehicle
inspectorate have a large scope for discretion but.... this has GOT to
be taking the ****.

It's got a 1993 90 chassis, axles, suspension and steering with a 200TDi
engine and a Defender LT77 gearbox.
It has a Defender bulkhead, windscreen and truck cab.
It has Defender wings, Defender bonnet and a Defender rear body tub.

So, it would seem that these days putting a pair of Series III doors and
door tops on a 1993 90 make it a "hybrid", that's assuming that the
doors aren't off a Defender too (which they could be) then that leaves
the door tops as the only part that MAY have, at some time, resided on a
1963 vehicle.

I wonder if it's got a 90 dashboard and steering column as well.

cheers

You beat me to it Dave. I can't see how on earth that can possibly be
legal either.
