Now that would be a really nice vehicle to drive! It looks horrible on
land
rovers, but 'british racing green' suits roadster-type vehicles perfectly.
Do you know what had to be done for it to be registered and insured here?
Was it a simple matter of paperwork or was a full engineering inspection,
etc. needed along with a drawn out process of chasing up government
officials to get the right certifications?
