+1

looks like series bulkhead tub and doors stuck on a range rover chassis

theoretically this should be on a Q plate as the originas chassis has been modified

other than that it should be on a range rover logbook

I seriously doubt this is legal

As long as it pre dates the sva, should be legal. But I'd get proof of that! Its not an s1 anymore but back in the day the law allowed this to go on.
Its a complex area tho so its not something I would listen to numpties like me on!

If VOSA pulled that in it would get seized and scrapped unless you had every scrap of evidence, and it would be your case to prove. I would like to see what the insurance companies made of it as well....
"Any modifications on the vehicle?" =)
