Which of Solihull's finest products have "2-axle-rigid body light 4x4
utility" as the description on their V5?

This isn't one of those "I just wondered" queries - I really do need to
know whether (as I suspect) it's the description used _only_ for some
proper Land Rovers, and never for Range Rovers.

I'd suspect that the pickup variants would get this along with oddballs like
the 130 doublecab. I may be wrong though.

Likewise my LWB 2a. It also has a 3499kg gross revenue weight -
whatever that is

My 1975 Series III 109 Hard Top (with side windows) is described as:
Body type Motor Caravan
Wheel plan 2-Axle-Rigid body

Wonder why this is? It's definately not a caravan, it's empty, not
even got any rear seats in it. Got carpet though.....

the 2-axle rigid body is the wheelplan.

the "light utility" is the body type.

mine has the former but the body type is listed as "estate".

so was the 110, I see.

The lightweight V5 says the same. Have been to DVLA Peterborough today to
sort out its reg. It was released in 1982, and got an X plate, but was made
in 1976, and even said so on the V5. Could see all sorts of fun with it
when it goes for MOT.

For once they were bloody helpful, all I had to do was sign a statement
saying that I wanted to get an age related plate, and that was it. New V5
is being sent to me!

The V5 for the Series 3 88" also says 88" on the V5

Thank you, good sirs, for your replies. Being concerned that the
description on my latest Range Rover's V5/2 (haven't seen the whole V5
('nother story)) didn't seem correct for the vehicle, I began to wonder
what Swansea had recorded as the VIN. The insolent tartlet refused to
tell me anything at all, though she said the DVLA office "might", if I
went along in person. So I breathed deeply and coughed up 20 quid to
Carwatch, who told me the recorded VIN. It's wrong, of course: the
numbers at the end are correct, but there are three characters missing.
It is, however, a Range Rover VIN (SALLH). So it's a mess, and
Swansea's data checking is so sophisticated it didn't even throw up that
the VIN was the wrong length.

The really funny thing is the MoT certificate, which has exactly the
same three characters missing. Every MoT tester I've watched has
written the VIN down from the VIN plate, which is "correct". So I
reckon it was an MoT by telephone, which accounts for a lot.
Unfortunately, I'm outside the period I can appeal.

Better try driving it now I've put lots of nice new bits on it.
