There shouldn't be anything to update I don't think. You could check what your V5 says now, but body config isn't usually on there. Although some people say they have number of seats listed.
In terms of modified vehicles and the regs https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/ra...d-vehicles Body configuration is not part of it for a ladder chassis vehicle. The only thing you'd maybe want to do is tell your insurance, but again you'd only need to do this is they have it listed as a specific body config, if they don't, they won't know anyhow. |

Hi all,
I've just finished converting my 09 Puma 90 pickup to a hardtop. I believe I need to contact the DVLA to get the V5C updated. Currently it is listed under section D.3 Model as "defender 90 pick-up' and D.5 body type as 'pick-up'. Can anyone who has a factory(2.4tdci ) 90 hardtop tell me what your V5c says in these sections? Thanks Phil |

When I converted mine to a hardtop, I informed DVLA and under body type my V5 now says: LIGHT 4X4 UTILITY
 '99 TD5 Defender 90
'52 Series 1 80" '99 Caterham 7 |
