i have spotted a unregistered shell, but i dont want it if its on a Q....

the seller told me it will need a SVA, but not if it will be Q'd. ( as its built from loads of parts (that aint new)

ta..L

 

Yes Q plates are still issued

SVA and registering a new car:
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring...cle/DG_4022486

SVA requirement works on a points system. To keep the original identity, you need 8 points.

Original chassis/shell = 5 points
Suspension = 2 points
Both original axles = 2 points
Transmission = 2 points
Steering assembly = 2 points
Engine = 1 point

as the shell aint registered it will be Q'd, as im guessing u can only have 5 points from the cars chassis/body if u went straight for a registration.

If u sva, youd probably get an age related plate.

wont be a problem its not like a kit car! its a normal production car so should fly through, as all the sva is is a through mot basically

best give them a call mate, they can tell u for sure, get it in writing as wel!!!

 

a little off topic, but how did the ford puma in the last Performance Ford, get an 08 plate on it?

 

he got a 08 plate cos its all new parts from ford (where posible) think it said your aloud 1 old part so he got the engine. how come if cars get a re-shell they dont get a Q plate?

 

cheers lee, i have a saff donor, and will be using all the suspension etc... i wonder if i can use the id of that?

 

thanks

 

the only way they will issue an id is if you had a reciept from ford for a brand new shell

if you dont then it will be q plated

 

i have an fiesta cosworth shell , brand new unregised dont know what that will go on ,, i i am selling it ,,

 

Q plates are okay for the M.O.T test .no emissions test.the only check is for visible smoke.

 

well as said if you can get 8 or more points from the same vehicle then u can use that reg!!!

ie if u used the engine, axles steering etc for one car!

 

Yep - that info is good
