    SVA and registering a "non registered" car

    ...kit, but they accepted the original invoices.

    Ts gt40 build?

    ...trip back from Le Mans- regularily over 25 but this was exceptionally good- but it is 3.9l and Efi through a plenum so does not "look" the part A cheeper option could be to get a ready made 2nd hand car and rebuild it to you specs - can be got even cheaper if you will accept a Q plate. Ian

    SVA - age and emissions

    ...test, if its age related (difficult to get with a new engine) then the test is related to the age on the plate. Not sure what happens with a Q plate, I imagine its related to age of engine.

    Whats the deal with age related plates?

    There is/was a way to get rid of Q plates but it is not simple and potentially no longer possible! Before times moved on with Northern Ireland, you could transfer your car there and register it to an Northern Irish address. After say 6 months or so, you then brought it back to England and put...

    Whats the deal with age related plates?

    Lee, No not neccessarily. If you can 'prove' that the transaxle, steering column, uprights etc are new as well as everyhting else, you can submit a certificate of newness and then get a new plate. My best advice. Read all the documents and then then 'read between the lines' ;) Brett
