Hi there, been offered a cat b car, full repaired.
I understand that these are not supposed to be allowed back on the road.
But is there any way, of putting it through an sva test, like a kit car or the like? Or just registering it new?

Thanks, and sorry if it seems like a stupid question!

cat b's can't be put back onto te road

unless its a different sort cat b?

 

deffo cant put a cat b car back on the road

 

Not even if its totally repaired and has nothing to do with the old id, i just register it as a new, home built car?

 

Incase you did not understand...

DO NOT TOUCH THIS CAR

 

Its been px'd to me, as a cat b, not registered, ideal for a track car, im wandering wether i can put it back on the road, or will i just have to use it as a track car.

Also, was it you who wanted ms office 08?? i seem to recognise your sig, you still want it? sorry i forgot about it !

 

no can not be registerd again. i know of only one going back on the road and that was one with id issues and was proved to be the car it was supposed to be. if it was damaged it will have had major damage and more than likely needed a reshell. that in itself cause's id issues

 

Yes it was me, it would be great if you still have a copy of it

Could even email it to james90rs@gmail.com

I'd say if any cab B's are back on the road, there will be something very dodgy, i,e a ringer

Just track it

 

I thought Cat - Bs were Break only ?

 

I'd say avoid it, but from previous experience, I've known of a cat b car being allowed back on the road, new log book issued from the dvla and all that. The car wont be worth anything though!

 

Its been fully repaired, it is not road registered. i was just wandering if the dvla could register a new id if they dont know about the cars past, or if they thought it had just been built from parts.
I will be keeping the car so not bothered about re-sale value, it will be for track use, i just wanted to know if i could register it to drive it to and from trackdays, as my trailer is in spain at the moment, so would need to bring it back.
The only reason i'm interested is because the guy is part exchanging his lotus (the car in question), a couple of pushbikes and a speedboat against a range rover im currently selling, and i'm hankering after a decent trackcar so it has come at the right time.

Sorry for any confusion caused.

James90rs, ill pm you in a sec.

Thanks

 

now i do know of cat b's being put back on road but had to be pulled in for a examination, ie were the check and do the q plates etc

basicly kick off enough stink apply for logbook etc etc etc i bet you will get there in end, might Q it but no big loss is it
