and what is meant to mean?
Meaning if you/anyone wants to believe it's a Disco chassis, then yes ok it is.However it isn't as the RRS is a different wheelbase and it is also an integrated bodyframe, semi-monocoque design. Meaning the body is also part of the structural chassis. And it's plane to see by the different shape and appearance that it isn't simply a rebadged Disco

that was what I was trying to determine, many thanksHowever it isn't as the RRS is a different wheelbase and it is also an integrated bodyframe, semi-monocoque design.

ok. Hope I wasn't offensive earlier, just thinking back to the idiot comments Top Gear make.
Either way Disco or RRS they are awesome vehicles rarely matched by other mass production vehicles.
No not at all, I am looking at full restoration of my RR classic, was wondering if it was even slightly a starter as I know where there is rolled supercharged RR sport, could I use my classic body on RR sport running gear,was a dumb idea probablyEither way Disco or RRS they are awesome vehicles rarely matched by other mass production vehicles.

ok, that's a slightly different question.A classic RR uses it's own chassis, although this in itself is of similar basic architecture as the Series Land Rovers. The Discovery 1 uses an almost identical chassis and fixing points to most classic RR's. Indeed even the windscreen and door frames are the same.
This basic design evolved for the D2 and p38a. Again these are very very similar, but with more differences.
A Defender too uses basically the same sort of chassis and fixing points as a RRC or D1 too.
The D3 and RRS sadly are a completely new generation of vehicle with a completely different design and construction ethos. However that doesn't mean with sufficient work that you couldn't make the base platform and drivetrain work with a classic body shell, but you are entering the realm of quite a custom build, likely with many bespoke parts.

That is really clear, many thanks for the info, just liked the idea of the classic shape with modern underpinnings, I had a felling that my idea would be flawed, Guess could do an engine transmission swap along with ecu and all the other bit.
