Not really no. The current law was introduced to stop “ringers” where people where welding 2 crashed unibody cars together (usually badly) and passing off as a single vehicle. It was never intended to stop genuine builds and modifications.

Loads and loads of kit cars for example are legally registered and used keeping the donor cars ID. Despite the finished vehicle being substantially different.

And let’s not forget that vehicles modified in this way probably account for something like 0.001% of all the cars in the U.K. and most of them will never be used for regular commuting at peak periods. Meaning their risk profile is almost 0.0

Basically they cause no harm to anyone, man nor beast. If you want to get head up about something, there are far more worthwhile things to expel you energy on!

And to add. You’d be well advised to actually read the guidance on the .gov site. And NOTE it is guidance and not a definitive technical spec.

You should also note that the entire procedure is a self declaration one. This is a very key part!!!!

Most modified Land Rovers are likely to be within the guidance. But as it is a self declaration it is down to the owner. Not a passer by or wannabe vigilante.
