Somthings not right,
its not a 73 or a 69 or anything pre 80s IMO.
chassis is coiled, so 90/defender looking at it, air intake is on the right side or a 300tdi, but its not a 300 wing, maybe it was originally a 19j??
I thought 200tdi and prior had vents above the rear door (may be wrong on that one)
rear Xmember is TD5 style, no biggie, unless the rest is a TD5 chassis

Matty, this may or may not be the right course of action for you but I really would try and get my cash back first before getting plod involved as once they are involved if its a stolen rung vehicle you will be lucky to see any of your cash back.
Good luck mate and good on you for speaking up and not just staying quiet, i hope it doesnt cost you too much in the long run.

Your reading to much into that. Some arrests were made from the same area and a few days later the club didnt turn up to a show they had a pitch at.
We have no evidence there is any connection
Can't really add much to the above, except to say try hard to get your money back. Can't see any way that this is legit.
And the trouble with leaving it will be the possibility of a keen mot tester or , more likely, an outraged landy owner, reporting it to vosa and you could end up with nothing or worse, a back tax liability.

well, his insurance would also not pay out, so if you or anyone is hurt then you are screwed... assuming the landy is actually safe to drive and not some abortion.
Ok, forgot about that. Potentially bad all round then.

1- insurance could care less until a accident and claims made.
2- mot garage does not check to see if it is a legit vehicle, only that it is a safe roadworthy vehicle

Where does tax exempt come into that then
Hope you get sorted
, but it definitely doesn't sound like it is what you've been led to believe it is
