Front quarter windows were dropped for MY85 along with the introduction of fully-welded body seams. The front doors are at least Sept 84 build MY85. |

It wasn’t uncommon for Company Directors to reshell an early RR chassis in the 80’s to reduce the Benefit in Kind payable as it was based on the original retail price until HMRC cottoned on and closed the loophole. So that may explain it. |

I think that you need to retain the original bulkhead, and some of the drive train... if memory serves me right they have a points scoring scheme that you have get a certain score to retain the old reg. This has obviously had a private plate added at some stage in the past which probably where the confusion started to arise.. Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Well spotted that man They dropped the quarter lights in 1984 and the external door hinges in 1986.... so that sort of narrows down it's age to mid 84 to mid 86..

The original 70's Range Rover had completely different panels & Doors & Latches and EVERYTHING that is definitely an 80's car.

I agree - its possible that it's had a new body put on the old chassis, but far more likely the VIN plate was just moved to a newer vehicle

Looking at it the exterior look like it’s an 86/87. The indicators, door mirrors, door locks within door handles and hinges and interiors door cards are 86 ish. With the shape of exhaust pipes, that says it could be a 3.5 EFI engine, but on the dash on drivers side looks like it’s has a choke pull, like on carburettor engines.

The number plate is worth £400, so the RR project is ‘only’ £2600. |
