KVA on the road...at last

[Richard]

HI all

Well life began for my 40 in 1989, a KVA Mk1 with their last c type chassis. The car was mainly built by professionals over in Norfork whereupon it had a few chassis and suspension modifications, it also received some marvelous ally panel work which makes this car stand out from the norm underneath is sculptured skin. The car had been laid up for 15 years when I purchased it so a small! amount of work was required to finish off this project, anyway 4 years later the car has passed it’s SVA and yesterday it was registered with a 59 plate as a new build vehicle.

So what is the point of this post, patience is a virtue, a single garage is big enough and yes a new car can take 20 years to build

First of all, congratulations! I'm sure you'll find any number of little bits and bobs that will need fettling until the car is 'done' (if cars of this type can ever be so considered), but making the transition from 'stuff that's just in the bloody way in the garage' to 'four-wheeled mood elevator' is a huge milestone! :thumbsup:

However, this thread is nothing without photos, man! Let us see the fruits of your years of labor!

Congratulations Richard, and welcome to the community. As Glen says - it would be great to see some pics.

Whereabouts in England are you? Be good to see you & the car in person at meetings/events.
