series 2 hybrid

hi got a early 60 s landy and i want to up grade her shes got a knacked old diesel in her on her last legs so thinkin of 200 or 300 tdi engine upgrade so thinkin maybe coil spring suspension am aware of these hybrids / different chasis etc was wonderin best way to go cheers

just buy a 90 rather than wreck a classic, you'll get slagged for joining the ranks of knobheads claiming historic status for owning a vehicle that clearly shouldn't

If you use a different chassis you may run foul of those nice registration people.( unless someone knows different) You may end up with an illegal vehicle & all the problems with insurance claims etc & we all know how eager insurance companys are to pay out.

parabolic springs 200tdi done and you should nt be accused of car ringing by some one

As long as you keep the unaltered chassis, and at least 2 major components, then you will be able to keep the Series II/IIA ID. Unfortunately you cannot fit coil springs to a leaf sprung chassis without modifiying it. If you do modify the chassis, then the vehicle must be subjected to an IVA or SVA, and will probably be issued with a Q plate.

200tdi, check
3.54 diffs, check
7.50 tyres, check
parabolics, check
