Think that would look lovely in the very nicely refurbed bay of a very nicely refurbed Range Rover classic.

I plan a controversial full swap engine,gearbox rear axle,front axle steering rack, suspension so it would be rear wheel drive, quite low big xkr alloys & that unmistakable, brutishly handsome, silhouette
A R R Classic Hot Rod!

Soft dash is long gone my friend
I have a 93 late hard dash with a rough body languishing in the weeds which I can exhume, remove the body from the chassis, then play around with axle locations etc. I also have a repairable body
Half decent body, check
Complete chassis, check
Complete donor jag, check
Bit of fabrication, shortened prop, modified exhaust, should see a rolling chassis 👍

Should make for an awesome project. bookmarked this.
The only slight shame I think is that the jag looks really clean inside and out.

Personally I would just keep the jag. Very nice cars. Can rot a bit, especially under the front turrets.

Jag was advertised as spares or repairs alternator fault, collected it on Tuesday & it does look presentable, I am going to swap the alternator & if that fixes the electrical issue, take it for an mot, the results of the mot test will help me to decide the fate of this car, either sell for a profit & buy another donor or use it as the donor |

Is your Range Rover originally one of those registered by Land Rover themselves? My memory is telling me that KV registrations stand a chance of being factory registered. I can always be proved wrong; won't be the first time. :-)

KV was a common Peugeot registration at the time as well, mostly dealer demonstrators, staff cars etc.
