^ You would think so but it’s just words on a government website. A case in point is this page where it states that cars and minibuses over 10 years old (with 8 seats or less) are exempt from vehicle approval. That would seem pretty clear cut wouldn’t it? https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-approval/exemptio...

^Trying to assess what is right or wrong is fruitless. The point is the 'rules' are not clearly defined and the 'fun police' are enforcing them how they see fit. Essentially the DVLA refer to a 'policy' that has not been published so everyone is in the dark about what can and cannot be done. What ha...

^ Well that is an interesting point. if you take any car with a separate chassis then drilling holes in the upper body is ok. Yet put a hole in a monocoque for, say, fitting seatbelts and you're in the Q club.

How would you get a quality repair done? By a workshop that keeps their work 'under the radar'? They would be legally obliged to put every restored car on a Q. Edit: "Dear sir, Please find the attached works and invoice for repair work on your Aston Martin DB4. This includes additional works re...

^ But it is happening. You saw the DVLA letters on page one, right?

Maybe there are plans for a Giga IVA factory?!

Just had a read. This is a fair point, well made! "DVLA claim that vehicle registration policy is the same for vehicles of all ages. If that is the case, we consider the rulings regarding repairs to chassis or monocoques should apply equally to repaired accident damaged modern vehicles but that...

'Investors in People' apparently.

I can't vouch that these are 100% genuine but it would seem an odd thing to falsify:

Yes, things are potentially looking sketchy for 100's of workshops restoring cars and especially those strengthening chassis. I got forwarded a letter from the DVLA which is doing the rounds concerning a customer who made a complaint about the Q plate / IVA test required for a roll cage. The letter ...

Great project. Am involved with both the Lunaz EV and the TK one. The design definitely grows on you.

I’m fairly sure in 1973 you had to use a yellow rear plate. Typically metal with plastic letters attached. Obviously these days, due to a legal mistake with historic tax rules, you can use a black rear plate on a 1973. So basically pick whatever you fancy [emoji16] DVLA forward dated the use of Bla...

Their website is terrible - just email them. https://www.renegadehybrids.com

Jonny great advice and I’m always sceptical especially around these crucial parts. It’s just a pity that Uk doesn’t have same supply resource than USA, some suppliers there need to be watched also, but suppose supply and demand. I have options and sure something will turn up soon Since I resolved t...

You can buy brand new 5 stud hubs (made by OE Match Classic whoever that is) from Design911. But... There is a problem with them. When you pull the studs in, the thinner area between the stud hole and the edge of the hub deforms outward which means the brake disc doesn't seat (as it locates on the h...
