Any ideas on a price?

my mates got a landy he wants to sell, its a 73 tax exempt serires 3 with these mods 200tdi engine, salisbury rear axle, roll cage, 750 tyres, will have 12months mot, 3 point harness, id say in faily good condition apart from some off roading scars.

what do you think he should be asking for it thanks.

I'd give him a tissue and a magazine, reckon that'l please him

:suspicious:

£300 n il pik it up as soon as its MOT'd.

hard to say without photos to be honest mate

With a question like that you are just as likely to be insulted as helped on here mate!!

If I were you I would track a few similar on ebay and see what they fetch...

A 73 won't be exempt, unless registered in first week of january.

...also there could be too many changes to the original vehicle for it to retain its originmal plate.It might require a re-test...

If you can prove the vehicle was manufactured prior to 1st January 1973 it can be Tax Exempt

It would get £1000 to £1500 on ebay. They are all worth £500 on ebay and with an Mot usually a grand +. With the bits you mentioned moe. I have been watching them for six months and bought my first a week ago.
Depending how much off road damage and with that engine it could be worth more but I think if you got it for £1k you would not lose out.

There seems to be a mismatch with what owners want and what they fetch, the ones on ebay on auction usually bring just over a grand as curveking says, but ones on classified ads seem to be over 2 grand.
Depending on the quality of the work a grand is probably acceptable, whichever ways around with landys it seems that we allways lose out cashwise.

I had a similar question! Wondering at what point would you lose the tax exempt status.

If you cant get the old parts to repair the car can you use newer alternatives?

Is it anything goes but as long as its the same chassis?

Or is it modify it too much and lose the right?

Or do they simply not care too much as not many people will go to the hassel of haveing one which is exempt and they only save £200 a year

Insurance would be a problem for most as they would have to declare the exect mods, however my insurance is trade and they don't care as long at it is within the value limit!

I am thinking of getting one and making it look more like a Defender 90! If that is poss? I have been told it can be in the pub but just starting to look at the options now.

Well I fitted a 300tdi and went through a load of this sort of thing.
The insurance is no diffo on my series 3, after the conversion from petty to dizzy.
And replacing the engine does not count as a radical alteration, so the original plate can be retained, I'm fairly sure that a convert to a 200tdi will not affect the registration of the vehicle at all, there are no mods to the chassis, steering, or axles, in fact not even any welding.
If the reg isnt affected I doubt the tax class will be either, a call to the dvla might be a good idea.

I think it is a bit like Triggers broom!

2:15 onwards!

6 Engines
2 Chassis
4 Bodys

But still the same car! And Reg. And Tax Status!

I am thinking of doing this and slowly changing a series into a 90! Keeping the reg and tax status! I am sure they will be loads who say it is wrong but then the law is all about interpertation and how well you can argue your point to a judge!

Well according to that then, you can have 17 replacement engines and 14 replacement bodies.

still tax exempt-snigger

If questioned I would say Counsilor Murry said it was ok!

The date of registration relates to the chassis number although you can replace the chassis ans keep the registration along with the date old reg as long as the chassis number from the original chassis is not used again. (this would be cloning a vehicle)

Changing anything but the chassis will have no relevance with regards to the number plate or date of registration.

When you change the chassis the DVLA will probably want to inspect the vehicle if you want to correct the logbook. (A receipt for the chassis is a good thing to keep)

That is the same as I see it! As long as the old one has the plates transfered and preferably cut up there should be no problem.

When you say to correct the logbook what do you mean?

I would class this as a rebuild and thus not been liable for SVA. (assuming all the old servicable parts are used)

If you mean to correct the milage back to zero then surely all the drive train and engine would need to be overhauled and proof of such. And then they would probably give it a new 10 plate and no tax exempt?

Surely if your after keeping the tax exempt status your best to...

Strip it, swop chassis and plates/id, cut old one to bits, and rebuild.
That way it would be the same age, millage, and id just it would have been overhauled and have a newer chassis.

I think DVLA would only need to be involved if you were wanting to claim the car as overhauled and NEW?

I am not saying that you may not want to SVA it (not sure if you can just ask for one without it been recorded by dvla, you could have an insurance sign off guy look at it and give you a report to say its all ok).

I would surgest a new MOT at the least!

I mean if I were to take my car apart for the hell of it and put it back together there is nothing to govern that except when it goes for an MOT and I find the big bag of spare nut, bolts and things! were in fact required!:doh::doh::doh:

Ok seems the FUN POLICE have changed to rules of play on SVA since I did my kit car.

The following is from there site....

Vehicles that have been rebuilt using a mix of new or used parts


In order to retain the original registration mark:

• cars and car-derived vans must use:

The original unmodified chassis or unaltered bodyshell (i.e. body and chassis as one unit - monocoque); or a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original supported by evidence from the dealer or manufacturer (e.g. receipt).

And two other major components from the original vehicle - ie suspension (front & back); steering assembly; axles (both); transmission or engine.

If a second-hand chassis or monocoque bodyshell is used a car must pass an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) and light goods vans must have a enhanced single vehicle approval (ESVA) or single vehicle approval (SVA) test after which a "Q" prefix registration number will be allocated.




So seems the idea may be slightly flawed to do it 100% ligit!

Which means you either need to do (like most people will either knowingly or due to the lack of advertising of the changes!) it and if ever pulled up say you bought it like that fully rebuilt from ebay!

Or get an invoice for the Series Chassis but use a Defender one and hope the SVA guy can't tell the diffrence!

Or Rebuild it using the Series Chassis then modify the Chasis after its been checked to take the running gear of the defender which is long winded and expensive! When your only going to save £200 a year!

Bloody Government!
