Guys,

I am not from UK, but interested in buying an unregistered kit car in UK.
The owner has to register it so that I can register it in my country.

As I have read it is possible to register the kit, which originally was built e.g. in 2001, as an age related. Donor car, major parts, enough points etc. as described above.

But what EXACTLY does that mean then?!??

What is standing as the "Date of first registration" (field "B")in the V5C?
Is it the current date, on which the car was tested (August 20, 2014)?
Or is it the first registration date of the donor car?

Is the age related sign shown anywhere in the V5C or is this something totally different?

Best regards!

First the car would have to undergo an IVA test before registration.

Then if the current owner/builder still has the documentation (V5, vin plate) from the donor vehicle, it could be registered on an age related registration. That means it could be issued with a regstration plate of the same year designation as the donor (not the same reg')but V5 would have the date of registration as the current year and a not saying "constructed form parts, some of which were not new" or words to that effect.
