Can anyone help

[Anton1974]

Building a hybrid at the moment, I have used the axles, gearbox, engine, steering, from a disco, and put them on a 90 chassis with a 90 body, can I retain the disco reg number? Any help or advise would be great thanks

No, the identity is the chassis.

This is a very grey area. All I can say is, go do a lot of research and be careful what you say, post or show pictures of on a public forum.

However the answer is no, you can't have a Disco that isn't a Disco with a totally different chassis and body. It might be worth buying a wrecked 90 if that's your plan and use its credentials as a "repaired" vehicle with a new chassis.

Actuslly you can have the registration from the Disco on the Defender, simply by doing a normal registration transfer. But, the vehicle will not be registered as a Disco, as others have said it is the chassis and bulkhead that determines the identity, not the drive train.
