Inherited Land Rover Build Info Request

Hi,
Sorry to bother you guys but I need some help.
My wife has come into possession of a Land Rover chassis and 'bits' due to the untimely death of her brother last year.
He was in the Fire Service and due to retire this year, when he was going to build it but alas that has not come to be.
The time has come for it to be moved on, unfortunately.
I have some photos, some attached. (Apolgies but we could not get to the front)
Could anybody identify the model from them and possible market value?
We just want it to go to a good home.

Best Regards
Dave

Addition:
I forgot to ask; do we need a V5 / Log Book? If we do not have one in this instance, what would we have to do instead?

It’s a bitsa…
Log book is a series 3
Engine is a TDI

Plus side chassis looks like a galv type
Will need a lot of work

Thanks Phil.
Any idea how to sell it / what it should be priced at?

If you have a registration it may help.
Otherwise it’s a project worth £1-2k at the most. Can only be sold as spares if no v5 or vin plate

Ah. Thanks Phil. That puts things in to perspective for me.
We have no idea where the V5 would be. Could we get one with a VIN No.?

Yes you could.
May be worth chatting with dvla to see what to do.
On the rear bodywork is there a number plate ?

Dave 42 · 2025-07-07T20:41:57+0100

I didn't see one. Although I wasn't looking at the time. Will be weekend before I can get back to it.
Not a number plate as in V123 ABC? You mean like a VIN number somewhere?
