    s3 and discovery hybrid... lets go

    No you won't. Once on a Q plate, the only way you can come off it is if you can prove the age of the vehicle. e.g. an imported vehicle and then able to prove that the year is 'X'. But in your case, you will be going to a Q because of the chassis mods, not doubt over the year of the vehicle. If...

    What make could my galvanised chassis be?

    It could also be a Marslands chassis. The paint can be either to make it more original, to hide a galv chassis from catching a thieves eye - don't think paint + dodgy! There may well be no vin on the chassis. It is not a requirement.

    Series III manufacture date...

    That's fantastic. Just one more question, was it a requirement to get the heritage certificate as the log book shows manufacture date anyway. Thanks

    Series III manufacture date...

    If it was classed as historic, then surely you could just buy a K reg or whatever without having to prove anything to the DVLA... or did they just issue a nice age related plate for free for you? Mine is a 72 but is on a V which I too don't like. So I would be interested in why you did what you...

    Newbie - is this a good price?

    As described it sounds reasonable. Obviously the chassis should be OK, but do a REAL good check on the bulkhead as they are involved and costly to repair/replace. As an aside there is actually very little difference toughness wise between series 2 and 3 gboxes. Another idea, whereabouts are...

    Second Hand Intrument Cluster Mileage help

    Why? The mileage is an indicator only. I would take a note of the date and take a pic of the new mileage. Then, your next MOT will show the new mileage. It is not a legal requirement that mileages are consistent. It's only to raise questions for a buyer. EG, my truc had about 103,000 on the...

    1971 SIIA Project

    Nobody does non galv ones as the price difference is minimal and the protection galv affords makes sense. You *MAY* be able to order a non galv one as a special but it would be nigh on the same price anyway. Oh, and good luck with her :-)
