I've had a 1986 V8 90 for over 20 years and like most old Land Rovers, it's changed a bit since it left the factory. It was originally a CSW and the main changes are:
Hard top removed and replaced with a bespoke soft top.
Safety devices roll bar
Rear step bumper - LR genuine part
Pivlock swinging spare wheel carrier
Front A Bar and fog lights - LR genuine parts
Galvanised chassis - Richards
Polybush bushes
Front centre seat replaced with cubby box - LR genuine
Rear seats removed
Discovery rear axle casing fitted (for the disc brakes)
Kenlowe electric fans
Janspeed SS exhaust
It was my daily transport to work for many years and is now having a bit of a spruce up now that I've retired. Mrs T and I have also just bought an apartment on the Costa del Sol, which we intend to use to run away from the Scottish winters. We'd love to have the Landy in Spain, as it would be ideal (and it deserves some time in the sun as much as we do!). The problem is that all the companies we have contacted about registering vehicles in Spain shy away because of "all the modifications". We will be applying for temporary residency as we will be there over 3 consecutive months but (at least for now) will keep under the 183 day limit in any one year. We would leave the car in Spain (garaged), so would need it to be on Spanish plates so we can get an annual ITV.
Any advice gratefully received! There seems to be a lot on the internet, but much seems to be conflicting or vague (or maybe that's just me being dim).
