Yes, silly. For once, we seem to have less restrictive practice here! As far as vehicles with chassis go, i.e. Land Rovers and Range Rovers in our case, the whole vehicle identification is taken from the chassis. So you could take a 1972 RR chassis, put a '95 model body and mechanicals on it, and it would carry its 1972 registration number and i.d. number, still be road tax exempt and emissions exempt, the same as any other pre '73 vehicle here. Hence the straightforward swap with the '94 model 4.2 efi which is in my lightweight. No cats and no emission control. Lovely, just like the good old days!
