HI Guys,
Looking to UK members for some assistance.
Wanting to bring in a car from overseas into the UK........Its a Brand new build 40 and I'm trying to avoid a Q plate following I hope a successful IVA examination....
My understanding is that a car that is built from brand new parts if it passes an IVA test will be granted a new 2020 registration doc. However a car presented built of new and used parts will be granted a Q plate if successful. My question is........ if the entire car is brand new but the engine is an old reconditioned Ford block and Audi used Gearbox does this constitute enough "used parts" to mean a Q plate is inevitable.........??
Essentially I am trying to avoid a Q and trying to see where the rules go.........most Ford blocks are reconditioned or remanufactured so maybe reconditioned is good enough to equal new in the eyes of the IVA testers....??
Maybe there is a % of used or reconditioned parts acceptable for a new plate to be granted....??
I am sure there must be some rules on the government site but struggling to find so I wondered if any of you lovely GT40'ers had anything to advise.
Thanks in advance.
Marcus
