Isn't the age decided on a points basis?

Surely, if you use the RR engine and suspension then it is still a RR.

Click to expand...

If the range rover chassis,suspension etc was unmodified then that id could be used but as soon as its cut in half and shortened (or lengthened as my mate found out) then its off to the sva shop.

Yep. The chassis IS the identity. So it is the Rangie... but as mentioned, once modified it needs an SVA and an almost certain Q-plate. One thing it will never be is a series.

sva test , i'm afraid . not that bad really , yeh what ever , it's a **** , you'll really need to do a proper job on the rebuild as the test is so much more than an MOT .
