I have a question regarding licensing and registration of a defender 110. I realize that the 1993 D110 is the only legal defender at this time in the US. However, I am looking at restoring/customizing a 110 and am not sure how to go about it so I can drive all over the US and even into Canada/ Mexico without getting in trouble. I have been told from people that if I buy a used series and have the DOT come and look at the vin# and replace it on a new chassis, I can build my 110 as long as I register the vehicle as a series? (because a series is 25 years old) I have also been told by a company that they can build a defender on a range rover chassis (1993) as long as I register the vehicle as a 1993 range rover. I am in a serious dilemma based on concerns of licensing/ insurance etc. Thanks, KJO
