This Series 3 I have just seen on ebay may or may not be stolen, but it is definitely a ringer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32649843...6PHDAT&hash=item4c04d2c228:g:LqMAAOSw19Bn32uR There is no way this is a genuine Series 3 and definitely not a legitimate vehicle. A commercial car dealer should know better than to sell such an obviously dodgy vehicle.

I have reported it to ebay. Not sure if it would be worth reporting to the DVLA or Police.

If it’s not stolen then DVLA or Police wouldn’t give a ****.

Just a pain that somebody is probably going to lose hard earned beer tokens

Looks like this has been a coil spring motor for over 10years.
So how has this not had a tug by plod for an inspection.

Someone has spent a lot of money doing this up and not getting it inspected.

Also still says 2500cc not 3.5

When was the last time you got stopped by the police?
About 35 years ago for me.

Didn't realise Ebay sent your details to another person if you message them

Anaconda · 2025-05-21T19:54:32+0100

I reported to Ebay, the Ai reply was there is nothing wrong with the advert.

If I’m out after 22.00hrs…plod will drive next to me for a look.
Last tug 5years ago. Brake lights not working,well check again officer bet they are working… and a flick of a switch and all good.
And when I lived down Kent it was every week. I had a police marker on the motor.
Was removed when I left the area

LandyWatch ?

Also if that was ulez compliant the people look out for the shiny motors on black silver plates. Cameras can’t recognise these

Dippypud · 2025-05-21T21:16:46+0100

How come it has a clear HPI check, fort they were hotter than that ?

They just type the details into the system & all good. So it’s clear.
Best bet see the motor & check the numbers.
These should have been done for the hpi check

Pretty sure there's no such thing as a 1971 defender, which is what dvla thinks it is

I can’t see anything from a 1971 motor in any of the photos

Landy badge is from a S2?

marjon · 2025-05-21T21:43:26+0100

It doesn’t show on the sellers website either?
But from pics it sure looks like they were taken at the same place.
