Hi I have built this copy of a armoured car it is built on a LDV 3.5 Ton using a separate chassis on top of the LDV s. I am wanting some info on how to change the body type in my log book it is classed as a tipper now. I was in contact with the DVLA before I started this and they told me to just change the body type but what to I dont now so what can I put down for it now? As you can see it is no longer a tipper

So one morning you woke up and thought 'hhhhm, so I think I'll build me an armoured car today.'

Kinda impressed with that.

Put it down as a faltbed / pick up

It's crying out for a Royce grill on the front, I take it you were influenced by the armoured Silver Ghosts of WW1?

I'm guessing you are some sort of historical enthusiast - what do you do with it now?

It's for tailgating Audi drivers.

Is there a "specialist" category? Like on trucks.autotrader.com ?
Unless of cause, there is an "armored car" category, but i suspect you checked there wasnt? laugh

So why not have the body listed as "armoured car" or "armoured vehicle"....They can only send the form back and tell you to call it something else. Thinking about it, you'll be fine its a vehicle with armour, what else can you call it.


P.S nice project

You obviously have remarkable energy and considerable resources.

I have been building driving and enjoying Kit Cars for well over forty years. I have built dozens and and driven hundreds over that time.

I am an Accountant by training and profession.

The machinations of the DVLA in variable requirements on registration and IVA requirement from Vosa are complex and subject to individual interpretation locally.

You have a really interesting, indeed, stunning project on here.

I would take advice from anyone who has dealt with such matters BEFORE you contact the authorities. A great deal can be achieved by approaching the issues in the correct way. I have personally seen decisions which were remarkably vexatious and decisions which seemed extremely lenient. A great deal depends on the information you give to the DVLA and Vosa from the start of this process.

Your description and presentation of your case will be pivotal in ensuring relatively easy and simple process through the bureaucracy.
