Dodgy 110 on ebay

LANDROVER DEFENDER 110 300TDI TAX EXEMPT | eBay

1973 my fekkin arse!

Well i've asked him when it was rebuilt and what part is 1973 ??

See if I get a reply!

Hmm rebuilt on a defender chassis with series vin hmm.

Post it on landywatch, needs reporting to vehicle crime and dvla. If it was 109 possible but not 110 and in that area blatantly from bits needs looking over to see if from nicked bits.

Strange how theres no chassis pics or engine bay ones either

I sent this to him

Hi thereJust reading through your listing, can you tell me when this was rebuilt please? Also what part of it is 1973 Tax Exempt? Many thanksBrian

His reply was

Dear brianmacthejock,it was an ongoing project for a few years , now has a later coil sprung chassis and most panels from later vehicles ,has been examined by dvla and allowed to keep original age related plate , thus being tax exempt - lupinek.berda

So i've followed it up with

OK, thanks for that. Do you have the documentation from the DVLA that confirms the inspection? Also Was the coil sprung chassis a new replacement item or did it come from a vehicle that had previously been on the road? many thanksBrian

We'll see what he says eh??

Hmmm, here's his reply!!

Dear brianmacthejock,

THE CHASSIS WAS FROM A 1998 VEHICLE THAT WAS A CAT B INSURANCE LOSS , WILL NEED TO CHECK WHAT PAPERWORK I GOT SHOULD STILL HAVE RECEIPTS ETC


- lupinek.berda


Sooooooooooooo, he's just admitted to me that he is trying to cheat on paying road tax!! What should my reply be to that??

Tell him you're reporting him………


And have evidence to support it

I would tell party monkey either on here or landywatch. Give all details or even try contacting rotherham police and ask for vehicle crime section. Sure they would be interested. If its not full of nicked bits they will still forward it to dvla as a tax avoider.

Here is my response

Hi again. So what you have done is taken a 1998 chassis, engine and running gear and decided to use a tax exempt/historic vehicle registration mark to defraud the DVLA? Its called tax evasion!! I don't care what paperwork you claim to have, if you were to declare to the DVLA that you have rebuilt your historic vehicle on a 110 coil sprung chassis from 1998 vintage then straight away you loose 5 points from the 8 points needed to retain historic status!! Check out this link Registering a radically altered vehicle : Directgov - Motoring In there it tells you that you need 8 points from the original vehicle, you have a 300 Tdi engine, no points, 1998 chassis, no points, coil sprung suspention, no points, Axles, no points need I go on?? I will put a bet that you will sweep this under the carpet and try to sell your ILLEGAL vehicle on, shame on you and I hope you get caught! - brianmacthejock

Just report the ****er :doh: don't let him get away with it

I have also reported it to Ebay, don't know if that does much good but??

True not worth the debate. He will try selling it whatever you say.

Report and let them sort it.

Thanks for the email address.

I phoned Rotherham police, they said "not our issue, down to the DVLA to enforce, contact them"

So then phoned the DVLA and the operator said, "it comes up on the system as historic so it must be!" When I said about the 1998 chassis and the points system all the guy could say was "it must have been declared to the local office and they have ok's it based on the information supplied"!!

WTF is wrong with these people?? So I have now emailed the DVLA to see if I can get anyones attention, i'll also send an email to the provided address as well.

get names! - that way they can be help accountable.

As I understand it. For a vehicle to be treated as a 'Classic' and therefore VED exempt, it has to have been built prior to 1st January 1973 or registered prior to 7th January 1973

http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consu...n/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_065254.pdf

I just did a quick reg check and it suggests that the registration plate was first registered on 1st Feb 1973 (this is a freebie checker so could be wrong of course!)

So assuming the reg check is right, even on that plate, it can't be tax exempt.

Assuming that the reg was tax exempt then Crazymac is spot on with his earlier post and it would have needed to have been inspected to remain on original plate or end up on a 'Q' plate.

The bits that make up the truck may well be dodgy but who knows, guy could have bought them all in good faith with full receipts etc. So difficult to prove so think this one more for DVLA than the AVCIS guys.

I've asked the AVCIS guys for a friendly DVLA contact that we could go to direct but in the meantime, I'm gonna report it online here.

Edit : Just re-read Crazymac's last post properly and see he's already battling with DVLA. Still gonna report it again anyway maybe prompts them into some action (hopefully)

Can but try. Its ok to build from bits, we just wanna make sure legitimate eh

Party Monkeys Right it should be on a Q plate because its thrown together with loads of different parts, if the guy was saying that the Chassis is from a Cat B car who ever sold him the chassis is also in the wrong because major parts like ''The Chassis'' cant be sold it has to be disposed of

why worry the filth dont care, dvla don tcare.We should all get on board and ring some motors.
