A Dutton Sierra was a 4x4 lookalike.

Built in 2000 but reg'd in 1968? It will be tax free if you want to try and defraud the tax man. That's a civil offence that will put you behind bars.....
After my two run-ins with these sort of ringers, I can confirm that it's not worth the hassle! It was OK for me because I was on the right side of the law and bought the correct cars with no ID and then applied for the V5s. It was'nt much fun for the other poor suckers who bought the ringers (or just the documents) who got nothing for their money, or the guys who sold the ringed cars/V5. They got a court appearance and one got a 6 month suspended sentence.....

Yup defo looks like a ringer to me.
Add to the asking price the cost of putting it through iva and registering/taxing
It ain't so cheap.

One to avoid.me think's.

Very strange. the dutton sierra was a fugly 4*4 and as said it can't be tax exempt if it was built when it says it was.

I suspect someone registered a dutton sierra on a 1968 VIN then sold that identity on to make a Seven.

Doubly illegal

Dutton Sierra was not 4x4, I was looking at one the other day and it had an Escort back axle. It did look a bit like a Lada Niva though and some have been modified to run Suzuki Samurai running gear. It's a bit blatant but he's obviously got away with it so far defrauding tax and insurance alike.
