buying advice for a rebuilt d90

scrimp said:

hello everyone,
excuse the newbie questions but..... I am looking hard at a td5 defender 90 that has the wrong info on the DVLA websight. the car is built on an old chassis number but on the surface looks like a softop defender 90. it soulds ok and runs ok. nice alloy wheels and all that but..
what should i look for to make sure that this is a genuine car? I have been told that there is paperwork to support the rebuild but I have not seen it to read.

Apart from walk away - what would the group advise?

should i look for the obvious thing and check the chassis and engine numbers against the v5? would it be worth a hpi check?

thanks for your advice.

Hi BearDy89,
no this one is dark blue at least on the surface.
I have put a post in the "introduce yourself" section as suggested.
