Default quick car transporter project

needed something to transport my track car and autograsser about next year. so seen a couple of things that would go together well....



take one razorback van



and one alko low loader



and bolt them together and we have the ideal tool for the job.its a ducato 2.8 turbo so not lacking in power..... still have rear lights to finish and my superwinch to fit. also bought a tyre rack off an ifor williams trailer and going to mount that behind cab along with a couple of chequer plate boxes for tools/jack/jerry cans .what do you guys think?

why would it need an SVA test? its not a trailer chassis, its an alko chassis conversion. the razorback comes with a flange and is bolted to the specially ordered fiat cab. the chassis was from an earlier ducato so already had the flange. i just unbolted it, got an adaptor flange made and bolted it back together...handbrake and brake system was still on the alko part...done it in a day.
