Whats wrong with a Q plate? I was listening to a YouTube show the other day about ev conversions, and they were saying that because they were changing the fuel type from Petrol to Battery they had to be a Q plate anyway. They also said that any welding or drilling into the chassis would mean a...

as I understand.... a q plate will knock £thousands off the price it immediatly 'advertises' itself as a 'kit' car and therefore not very good ! Also not sure even if q plate will be allowed in 2030 need someone who knows about these things to comment... perhaps Tornado or AK can comment...if...

...Hi Steve, so the logbook and body went on another car so will be essentially a new build although I would love to try and avoid a Q plate if possible just have to do some more homework. I've build and been involved with a few different kit cars over the years but need to look into this in...

Hi Martin. It is not unusual for both older unfinished GTD and KVA kits to appear for sale (usually on eBay or various forums). However depending on how much of the build has been done, there is potential for a lot of updating to be carried out to meet the current IVA test requirements. Also the...

...if everyone has spotted this. We might need a little support from RCR on the "supplied new part", unless we want to end up on a god awful Q plate. Be allowed only one reconditioned component to not be considered a new build is daft. But it's the UK Government we are dealing with. Dated...

It has been a few months, but I am making steady progress. More panel fitting and a few new parts. I now have two low pressure fuel pumps - Facet Red Top "Competition" or "Works" kits, which include an extra filter, vibration dampeners and hosetails. I will probably swap the push fit fittings...

One reason for buying mine was the dreaded "Q" plate. 30 years ago seen as a symbol of all the kit, in a kit car. Now it means the opposite, free to do as I like as it's registered ... If only I hadn't gone so mad with the rebuild

...have read a couple of posts suggesting that after 2030 there can be NO ICE new car registrations. Is this correct ? If so what happens to tornado and ak and all the other small manufactures of kit cars going to do .. Is it that they can be registered but not as new so end up with a q plate ...

Thanks

That would be the engine to get the correct period correct casting numbers. So brakes, steering,chassis, body etc need to be new…….along with the transaxle……..which normally proves to be the difficult part unless you are buying a new RBT to Quaife, but new old stock Renaults, Audi and Porsche...

progress looks good Phil, My tank hole for the gauge was the same as yours.. and it happened to me ...yes you will be taking the float system in and out a few times ! I had already elongated the opening and made up new covers. its not easy getting the float to rise and fall without rubbing on...

This will never happen. Clearly we need to take care of mother earth, but these types of cars are not going to help

seems to be a "Q" plate car acording dvla when you look up the details

Outrageous. What has happened to the UK?

...the current IVA test documentation. This is a very large and complex document. You need to study it, study it and study it again. To avoid a Q plate there can only be ONE re-conditioned part included in the build, everything else needs to be new and you need receipts to prove this. You will...

Yes, it is. Somebody knows more info about this car? What means the "Q" plate ? I'm not familiar with GB plates, sorry

If you are intending to put the car through the IVA you need to read up on the requirements regarding new and used components. You don't want to end up with a Q plate! Cheers Mike

...owner. It’s a GTD40 MK2 built by the owner itself. The VIN P1064 was added by someone else, the correct vin is the one related to the Q plate SABTVR03596177285. Then the car was sold to Italy were it got some racing upgrades such as exhaust, brakes and new carburetors. The power steering was...

...parts left and right, I am trying to do my due diligence with regards to the registration process in the UK. I am trying to avoid a Q plate as by my understanding it can serious impact the resale of the car in the future, and it is legally very difficult to do anything about the registration...
