    What actually constitutes a Land Rover?

    Hi!

    At what point do you stop owning a Land Rover and become the owner of a hybrid?

    Patrol front ends. Landcruiser rear ends. Pajero this and yada yada!

    What do you reckon?

    I take it in the same light as other commercial vehicles. While the body and chassis rails are of the original marque it remains.

    You don't stop calling a Kenworth a Kenworth, if it has a GMC, engine, an Allison transmission, Hendrickson suspension or Eaton diffs. Same with a Ford truck or even a Mack who make their own engines.

    So it is with a Land Rover. (Even if it hasn't got it's badge!)

    Addit: I'm not sure it would still be a Land Rover if you fitted too many Yada Yada's ....

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    seconded, as long as you dont replace the firewall and primary body works (from the radiator to the rearmost seat) its a landy...

    If you custom make a chassis to replace one then its still a landy.
