Sorry nodoes it come with a logbook?
It's just scrap then. Unless you are a criminal hoping to profit from the misery of those poor sods who have had their Defenders stolen.
You can rechassis your Land Rover with a NEW galv chassis, what you can't do is rechassis your Land Rover with a second hand chassis without using that chassis ID, that's called ringing and is against the law.So everyone who buys a galv chassis and rechassis' their defender Is a criminal..... don't think so....... this is just the same. As I say I can prove irrefutably that this is a genuine sale.
I am genuinely interested to know what "Legitimate" uses a chassis without it's ID has? If the ID has been transferred to a new chassis the only use I can think of is in an unregistered off roader. Even then if the authorities knew they would probably insist it was scrapped because even without plates it would still mean there were two vehicles with the same chassis number in existence.Genuine it might be but using a second hand chassis with no ID is problematic and it has limited legitimate use without falling foul of the rules.

Don't think you can Q plate a used chassis if the original ID is being used on a vehicle that has been rechassied.with a new one. I suppose you might be able to if the original vehicle no longer existed for some reason. Otherwise you would have two vehicles on the road with the same ID (if not number plates)Q plates are possible I believe if you jump though enough hoops and non road legal competition builds. It restricts the potential buyers massively and therefore the worth.

Q plates are issued to vehicles with a previously unknown ID. Special builds etc.
My understanding you end up with a Q plate if you mix and match parts from several vehicles and lose the original ID by failing the points system, The chassis would still have to have a unique ID (specifically the chassis number)not one that was being used on another vehicle. If you buy a chassis from Richards they will stamp your existing chassis number onto your new one prior to galv'ing. No way could your old chassis be used in a Q plate built from parts because that would mean there would be two vehicles with the same chassis number on the road. One would be a ringer even though there is apparently no "criminal" activity going on.Q plates are issued to vehicles with a previously unknown ID. Special builds etc.
So potentially your old chassis could have a new VIN /chassis number issued to it if you jump through enough hoops.
I wonder if the DVLA would actually issue a new number if they knew the original ID was still being used on an existing vehicle?
