Camaro is there to get it's MOT done, and the V5 (actually V55/4) registration. Should be fine once they have the orange LEDs used for the indicators (which I forgot, as I have afterburners (2006 Camaro concept light replicas) installed, American style, so red indicators).
I assume this is your new Camaro.

Why does it need an MOT?

Is it going to be UK registered and has had all the mods done before being IVA tested?

Yes, that''s correct.

I've been trying to register it in Belgium, and despite having all the papers, they're not willing to do so. Whole story, but seems whatever I do with a car... it involves some troubles...

Anything with no EU CoC can be a right pain although if it's already got UK registration it sems to be easier.

Getting it IVA tested with the mods will be a challenge.

Yeah, but the thing is... MoT in Belgium told me I needed the "TUV" papers to get the "IVA" type approval here. Did everythign they asked, and then they come back that the "TUV" papers don't have any validity.

As a mere mortal I don't understand how a car that has been approved under "European Community rule EC2007/46" can be ok for one EU country, and be so "technically inadequate" for another EU country that use that same EC2007/46 rule to legalise a car....

I love following all the Speed 12 threads. But I'm curious to know what happened to the black/blue one shown below. I loved this one more than any of the others.

The Black car is just another set of either unsponsored or unpainted panels, Graham has some black body panels.

The blue car was a non running show car with a plywood tub covered in an alloy skin to make it look like a real car, that was broken up. The black car at a show will probably be the same car repainted.

All five chassis tubs made are accounted for, Graham has 4. There are no missing Speed 12 Cerberas.
