You are required to prove that your vehicle still complies with the specification laid out in the Type Approval. A Certificate of Conformity is proof enough if it has not been modified.
The easiest way through that is to remove all the modifications that might invalidate the original Certificate and obtain a copy from Land Rover.. Alternatively you could find a competent authority to issue a new certificate based on its current state - that will cost money.
I have done this in reverse - registering a European vehicle in the UK - and that went OK. The UK selects a sample of vehicles that go through the registration process for a physical inspection. I was lucky enough that mine was not selected so I don't know for sure but I suspect the inspection is to make sure it complies with the original type approval.

A good way of keeping land rovers original.
When my old 85 110 went to holland, the most important part of the car for them was the original chassis number on the original chassis.
They went away happy with that info present.

glad you have it sorted.just a quick update:
I met up with "Marcel", as kindly recommended by "paul58" above and he seemed a nice genuine chap. When I explained my predicament, he asked "Homologation? Who told you that? I've imported loads of these over the years. Does it have side-steps? Does it have a tow-bar? Factory-fitted?, etc.
music to my ears. I have to get a couple of items sorted, then I shall give him the go-ahead.
Also, I e-mailed Land Rover and they replied that they would almost certainly be able to supply a Certificate Of Conformity if required. there would be a charge of £100
