EBay Ad
The V8 thing didn't sell at the end of yet another eBay listing - I don't know whether it is still advertised elsewhere.

Just a thought. With an engine change to a different make and type, its a significant change from standard, or in DVLA parlance a "substantial alteration".
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ptable-changes No one will convince the DVLA that fitting a slurpy old Rover V8 will improve efficiency, safety, or environmental performance! That being the case, it'll never qualify for historic vehicle status.

Before I retired I built race engines for my crust, have been involved in swapping motors between cars of all types.
I know many people to whom this has happened. Once the DVLA are aware of such an alteration that's it, they then in all likelihood won't fall for it. They're not daft, they've caught out plenty of people for whom I've done work. The only method to avoid it with a reasonable chance if success is simply not to tell them, and that carries it's own risks. If, as it seems, it has been registered with the new engine then that door has already slammed shut. Trust me, the 240 was for sale new as late as the 1990s and the DVLA know all the engine specs. It absolutely won't achieve classic status without a Volvo engine being reinstated.
