    Whats the deal with age related plates?

    A Q plate used to stand for 'query', meaning unknown date of origin. If you have one of these you cannot put a personal plate on the car. If you have a new (e.g. 57) registration, then you can put any private plate you like on the car as long as, as Craig says, it doesn't make the car appear...

    oil filter / cooler plumbing

    That's interesting, following advice from a Mr Yunick, we disabled the by-pass altogether and installed 2 extra long remote full flow filters on my SBC installation in the Penske Camaro (wet sump). Was that good advice? (in hindsight)

    ...with one major exception (usually the engine), are new - you have to have Certificates of Newness.

    Age related SVA test

    ...passed the SVA test, there are various routes to obtaining a registration number. As Tony says, you can get either a new registration, or a Q plate. However, there is third method ( which is the one I think you are referring to ) which involves presenting your car as a KIT CONVERSION (...

    oil filter / cooler plumbing

    Double edged sword this Q. If the cooler I was to use could be dismantled and visually checked that it was absolutely clean & clear I would run it after the filter, However if is of the type that cannot be dismantled for cleaning or has 'turbulators' in the oil passages I would prefer that it...

    SVA Requirements

    ...off pin drive wheels go through OK? How do we get around the issue of rear lights when the clip is raised? I am considering importing a turnkey minus and wondered just how much it will need to be tweaked in order to pass SVA and to be registered as a new vehicle and not a Q plate. TIA...

    gt40 registration

    Don't do it, apart from being illegal, when you get found out, they will force you to have a "Q" plate. That means you'll never be able to put a period registration on the car. Is the car already built or do you need to register a pre-SVA car? If it's not built yet (or being built) the SVA is...

    ..I am in the wrong Country. Help me..if u can!!

    Hi Paul I think the Q plate indicates Query. Normally this indicates the car is either a kit car, has been previously total lossed (an insurance write off) or its original year of manufacture is unknown. Q-plates are of the format: Q 123 ABC. Hope this helps Dan
