Ok that sounds straight foward. Problem i have is there is no set donor car for my kit. Engine is any old 302, transaxle is from an audi, sterring coloum and uprights from a granada, or a mustang!! SO buy me reckoning if i went your route it land a Q plate!? One thing im interseted in now is...

wow thats a cool thread, haha shh no talking!!! the kinda thread i like! I msut say the red is growing on me!

Ok guys im really confused now? So your saying the transfer of a V5 is a long winded approach. But i should be able to register the car relating to engine age alone, then purchase a sufix plate from dvla?

Wow jerry thanks for the info, so basically in the dvlas eyes im reshelling the donor car, therefore keeping the V5!? this is interesting, id like to know more about this. I HATE with a passion New reg numbers, 1 because people use them as a status symbol (even thou the cars probably on...

HAha. mate if i let her choose it would be barbie pink with a fluffy interior!! Ive just bought her a kitten as she wanted one for ages and i always said no, but thats been married for you, all about compromise!! I get a GT40 she gets a Kitten, fair deal me thinks;) Im in England so climate is...

Hi everyone. Before i begin my Mk1 40 build id like to work out in my opinion one of the most important features on any car...the paint! So far im thinking Gulf livery but im not 100% some times i think it rocks then some pictures i see it look a bit camp? you know what i mean? I assume...

I have to wait, I dont have the car yet, it wont be delivered to me untill april/may. At this moment in time im just trying to familarise myself with the basics of kit cars and doing some general homework on gt40 replicas. Id like to start the project with as much info behind me as possible...

Ok, so ive established i cant get an "old reg no". Now im interested in makng sure there no Q! Obviously the 302 engine will be second hand. but from what i read this is acceptable. SO your saying if i purchase say a transaxle, as long as its just an invoice with price and description and...

cool thats a good numberplate! Ok so i get i will have to stay away from a Q like the plaque. What worries me is that i'll be using the engine a (302 from something like 1966-69), a second hand audi transaxle and front uprights from a mustang. this to me from the above posts spells a Q...

oh right, so even if you had an engine and a gbox from say a 67 car, it would still be classed as a new registration? dont worry thered be no way id want to make the car look newer!!!! So if you get a new reg, when you say make it an old plate i assume you just mean pressed with black and...

Hi was just wondering. when you get one of these replicas on the road, is there anyway of attaining an age related plate. A suffix D or C plate i feel would finish of a replica rather than a Q plate. What are the requirements for this, will an engine from the 60's be enough to get a...
