Q: I am about to buy a motor home.The seller describes the vehicle as a Swift Kon-Tiki 2.5lt TD.The DVLA has advised me the vehicle is model Fiat Ducato l4.Can anyone clarify-I am concerned that I may be being mislead by the seller.
A: Swift Kon-Tiki is the make of motorhome - the bodywork (i.e. the living part) will be built by Swift, using a Fiat Ducato chassis and cab ( the mechanical bits, driver's cab etc. The DVLA record of the vehicle relates to the manufacturer of the chassis, engine etc. - in this example, the bits that came out of the Fiat factory. If you look at different motor homes, you'll see that some have Fiat fronts, some are Ford Transits, some are Mercedes, and so on.....
