No, the cat b was a 1999, which is what adds a whole new level of confusion to a straight chassis swap.

Nooo, silly
stamp it with the nummers of the one you are replacing, the one right for the reg no it will use.
Not sure that would count ...
a bit like building a series from Puma parts ...
Has he said what ID he was using on the road ?

Forget everything....
The 'new' chassis, does it have a vin number? If yes then hope it's not stolen, if no has it a. Been ground off (your in the ****) or b. Never stamped as its was brand new
As for the points system as long as then non numbered parts are age correct there isn't anything they can do

That's exactly how I saw it too, but he does appear to have used some parts from newer vehicles, some removed from a scrapped/written off vehicle so it makes it a bit messy.

In addition.....the 99 chassis wasn't destroyed so that ID isnt usable so I suspect the best hope for the OP is inspection and new chassis number and 99 age related plate.

It's a new chassis but not correct age.

It might not be possible to change body type,
My 94 defender 90 300tdi van back, on the log book, Landrover defender 90,
My 95 defender 90 300tdi van back, on the log book, Landrover defender 90,
My 89 90, with a 200tdi fitted, on the log book, Landrover 90 4c diesel
All say are body type light 4x4 utility I believe,
my 200 truck cab is definitely, I'm prity sure my other 2 where, putting windows in ect and changing mot class is a diffrent story
Thanks for everyone's comments and input, just so people are aware I will explain what I did,
I first bought a 1988 rotten 90 csw
I then purchased a genuine tdci chassis from a company on eBay that specialises in genuine chassis (year of manufacture unsure as it had no Id)
I then removed the mounts and fitted 300tdi mounts to suit what engine I planned to use, then sent it off to be galvanised.
Then I bought a rolled 1999 CAT B which I used both axles and rear tub from sold the other parts that could be salvaged the chassis then was cut up and scrapped as it was just as rotten as my 1988.
After buying various parts from shows and eBay and breakers I built up my 90 and put it back on the road using the 1988 registration.

So what counted for the points to use the 1988 reg ?
So how did you register the vehicle and get it taxed & MOT'd ?
2 points for the steering ? ... if you used that ...

I'm not sure how much it helps but it might be why the police are dragging their feet.
They might not be able to prove it's stolen in whole or in part but know it's not legitimately registered.
Either way I imagine you'll have to get it inspected and maybe live with a Q plate if and when the police decide they can't do you for anything directly

No id.... So was it ground off or was it an aftermarket new chassis ?

Not really, Puma bonnets weren't available in 1988, nor were TDCI chassis.
