All the usual concerns apply. Unlawful OTR and very probably very tricky to register. Best avoided."My heavily modified mk1 Punto GT Cabriolet is up for sale its had a 1.4 GT engine transplant but has not been declared to the DVLA (never got round to doing it)."

New chassis, new suspension, new body, new engine, new transmission, new interior, new brightwork but the VIN and number plates are from 1965 so it's Tax exempt.

That's a great picture of my hybrid Land Rover. Anyone got any questions about it?
Top Lurking. What does the law say on replacing most parts of a classic vehicle?
assuming everything is just a replacement and not radical alterations this would not apply?

if it's always been taxed and motd then the rest of these may not apply either?

Nice idea, well executed, scrap for the sake of a stamp.

My mot tester wrote me a letter stating my engine swap in my 205 gti so hopefully now I can get it changed on the log book. (Dvla already rejected it once).
It has been insured properly and the tax band is the same since the engine swap but it will be nice to have the correct CC on the v5.

Have you went from a 1.9 to a 2.0 from a gti6? or from a 1.6 to a a.6 16v from a 106gti?

I love the 1.4 SuperFIRE conversion on small Fiats. I've built a few myself. But this...

It certainly wouldn't handle as well as a 1.6 on a tight and twisty autotest track, but I don't get any understeer or oversteer, party because it still handles really well and partly because it's a road car and I don't drive it like that on the road!

Does not surprise me TBH. I think the reality of the requirements of the DVLA nowadays has caught many mods men in limbo. Used to be a pretty simple job but really is not simple any longer. I regularly see boidged kit cars through my contacts with kit car specislists which are simply not roadworthy, safe or correctly registered. They are grudually getting pulled but there are more coming on as this thread and others testify. Real caution is needed on looking at kit cars sadly because all can most certainly not be as it seems. Caveat Emptor must be the motto of prospective buyers; there are no easy routes to get a car legally registered without full history any more. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rally-Car-FIAT-CINQUECEN...
