As I'm a newbie looking at realising my dream of owning a GT40 by building one sometime in the near future I am very conscious of the regulatory environment that we now have in the UK.
Looking at the SVA rules it appears that a GT40 in its true guise would not pass this test and would have to be 'modified' to do so.
As an example the front indicators need to be 350mm high
This looks to me as though they would need to be approximately where the headlights now are!
Has anyone in the UK recently had experience of putting their GT40 through this test and would they be willing to inform us of how they managed to get their car through and then register it with the DVLA?
I do not want to find out after purchasing a self build car that it will not be registerable in the UK unless major modifications are made that will detract from an otherwise
magnificent bodyshape etc.
