that reg isnt 1961 its 1971 so it must be a typo error on the sellers behalf and if its on the rangie chassis with matching running gear sod evrything else it just might have enough points top scrape through with that reg but only by the skin of its nutsack
a 1961 reg will more often than not be a 3 digit following 3 letters ( eg ABC 123 ) or the other way round as it was 1962 when the fourth year corresponding letter came out
not trying to put anyone down or take the **** im just simply trying to educate and save yer all a little time searching through google /direct gov/dvla and the rest of them

Chassis mod automatically removes the points for that, and the auto conversion removes the points for that. That is not taking into account the fact that lengthening the chassis to 110 inches means it should be on a q plate.that reg isnt 1961 its 1971 so it must be a typo error on the sellers behalf and if its on the rangie chassis with matching running gear sod evrything else it just might have enough points top scrape through with that reg but only by the skin of its nutsack

If you want to be ****ed off have a go at the OP but if you want to take offense at the way people say things then you're in the wrong place......seriously!

I guess this post worked as it has highlighted the fact that its easy to dupe people into believing a vehicle is tax exempt just because the seller says so. The number of bids on such vehicles prove it.
Personally I wouldn't touch the "coilers" with a barge pole.
As for the series vehicles I singled out, unless there is very good photographic eveidence of the rebuild / updates and a decent amount of paperwork to back up "Genuine" claims then in my view they remain potential liabilities.

That a ringer with a rotten bulkhead, seems like oldies that are getting flack are just suffering from triggers broom.
i very much doubt that most of the coilsprung tax dodgers are sold to the unsuspecting especially if they're a lateish model, 200/300tdi and TD5, most folks that look at one of those and buy it with a "historic registration" document will know exactly what they're buying
thier problems will arise when/if they have a serious accident or a knowledgable cop decides to pull them
the ones that "could" be sold to unsuspecting folks will be the 1/2/2a/3 bodied shortened disco/90 etc' chassis, the unsuspecting folks being the very new to landrover person that "just fancies" a new toy without knowing anything about landrovers but likes the look of the older models but again i'll hazard a guess at it being very few go to the unsuspecting
the prime ones that'll go to the unsuspecting "landrover newbie" will be S3's wearing S2/2a plates as the appearance is so similar externally, those are the ones that aren't fair and are more likely to cause "innocent newbies" to take flak
i got educated after i bought my first landrover, i also bought a civilian bodied landrover that had a lightweight plate on it (i didn't understand the vin plate), everybody thought i'd bought a "ringer" even i thought there was something odd about it until i pulled it to bits when i found it WAS actually a rotten as a pear lightweight chassis under the body panels with a civvy crossmember and outriggers on it
there's a lot of detail differences for the newby to learn about before anyone can be certain of what they're buying, myself i can now spot certain things from the outside but it's not until i crawl underneath for a closer look do i make any assumption of what model i'm looking at as too many bits can be interchanged with relative ease
does anyone want to tell me what model this is ??

Bulkhead looks to be a series 2. The rear crossmember and suspension shackles seem to indicate an ex MOD model
