V8 90/110 or 100"hybrid

Hi all,

My rrc body is rusted to pieces, so I'm thinking of a v8 defender.

I've seen lots of defenders that have obviously had a disco or rrc power plant fitted - what are the implications of this re: insurance.
Is it not a modified vehicle?
How can I tell if it has been re- engined?
And does it really matter?

On the same vein, what's the status of a 100" hybrid ( eg a 90 body on rrc chassis?

Anyone out there done a 100" hybrid conversion?

Thanks

Mike.

Insurance wouldn't be an issue, the DVLA would be your biggest problem.

Why would such an engine change not be a problem to insurance?
And why would it be a problem to the DVLA?

Forgive my ignorance, I haven't run into these problems, and don't want to...

I don't think the insurance are worried as long as you give them all the details, as for the DVLA, I'll find you a link

Sorry, VOSA not DVLA

Ahh, ok.
