Hi Neil, Just in case your comment causes readers concern ..... the installation was completed 15 years ago and so far had no problems. I guess it's like everything in life... stuff can fail. For your information I'm in northern Arizona in April, although not close to you. Me and my partner are...

Hi Guys, Here's a photo of my installation with 2 facet fuels pumps feeding Filter King filters/pressure regulators. There are non-return valves in the lines. Carb is a 4 barrel Edelbroke. Engine Ford 302. The engine is a full rebuild with lots of high performance parts. Fundamentally it's a new...

Hi Joel, I've sent you a PM with the dates we will be in Williams and my contact details. Cheers Steve.

Hi Joel, Thought I would send you a photo of our beastie for you to enjoy. I'll PM you our dates in Williams.

Hi Joel and Chris, Joel, as part of our month long tour from Vegas through southern Utah and northern Arizona, we will be spending 4 nights in Williams (gotta do the Grand Canyon) before travelling West on Route 66 via Seligman and Kingman and finally on to Lake Havasu. You are just down the...

Hi Michael, You are absolutely correct, the amount of regulation here in the UK (and as JP pointed out, across most of mainland Europe) is ever increasing. In reality, the so called 'Kit Car' industry will die over the next five years. You may not be aware, that as from 2030, here in the UK you...

Hi Robin, Interestingly you are the second person that's submitted a post about old KVA's recently. I presume you have a copy of the current IVA manual. Since the "goog ol days" of the KVA there have been a staggering number of amendments to the IVA test and many parts on an old kit would now be...

Hi All. British GT40 owner touring Southern Utah and Northern Arizona for the month of April 2025 and will be in Lake Havasu City for the 'Desert Storm' power boat event event and street festival. Would love to say Hi to any owners of our favourite cars (any year, any model). I've seen videos on...

Hi Ross, please allow me to give you some input, although it will not be what you want to hear. Clearly your KVA was built using a number of parts from a Ford 'Cortina' and I presume it was the original 1967 vehicle on the V5C. The DVLA currently will believe it is still a Cortina as they have...

Hi Marcus, Congratulations on your sale. I , like many others, watched your listing on collectingcars.com, eager to see the result. Your addiction is not unique, there are many more of us round the world with the same condition! I have now reached an age where I should put my GT40 in a glass box...

Hi Lee ....... firstly congrats on getting through the IVA. As I suspect you are fully aware your car will need its first MOT sometime in May 2025 before you can re-tax it. The DVLA web site doesn't always show things as logically as you would expect. As it's a new vehicle registration, I'm not...

Hi Simon ....... at point of arrival you will have Import Duty, Vat and Handling Fees added. I'm not sure on the Commodity Code for car parts these days (probably somewhere between 4% - 10%) for the Duty. The VAT will obviously be 20% and the Handling Fee is typically around £30. Plus of course...

Hi Mike, Thank you for such a detailed response. I'm sure everyone will be grateful to you for providing this information. One wonders how long it will be before there are changes to this (as the ICE powered vehicle is rapidly becoming the soft target of the climate change agenda). I have...

Hi Don ...... well done to you sir. I would be interested to know if you have carbs or injection and what set up. I currently run a 4 barrel holley and it's very tight on emissions! Steve Dean MDA with Ford 302

Hi Andrew ....... I'm curious what you intend fitting the IDA 48 carbs to. I hope it's not a new build as they won't meet emissions (for IVA) or an MOT. If you know differently ..... please educate me. PS. I'm not being a clever sod (I like many others love the look of the IDA's) but don't know...

Hi James ...... I would try Classic Line in Hinkley, Leics. As I'm sure you realise your age will not help. However, as you have multiple vehicles, then doing a package deal on them will help. You can go for a really low limited mileage on the GT40 (as you can always extend it if need be for a...

To all our American friends ....... there is a lot of talk here in UK on other forums about the EPA 'raiding' companies that make performance parts. Furthermore it is being suggested that the Biden administration is going to wage war on the internal combustion engine. The doom mongers are...

Hi Paul. I've been waiting to see if anyone replied to your topic. I suspect that the huge number of our American buggies that use this site are not fully aware of what an ULEZ is. In the fullness of time one can see this being introduced in Los Angeles, Etc, Etc (although probably not in Texas...

Hi Guys. Has anyone ever built an SLC in the UK and (most importantly) got it through the UK IVA test. It occurs to me using an LT4 engine would be a good start point and the rest of the build would be all the requirements that us Brits have to deal with (most of which would cause our American...

As stated above talk to Mick Solis at Southern GT or Andy Sheldon at Tornado. Both have been producing well known products for a long time with many examples successfully put through the IVA test. I note you say "for a not so big price". The reality is you will need to budget £50-100K to do a...
