Vehicle reg from donor car to kit car
Discussion
I intend building a Kit car based on a Porsche 944. I have the donor vehicle on a Sorn.
At the bottom of the VC5 under special note 2 it states this is a Non-Transferable Registration Number.
Can i use this number on the completed kit?.
If not would i get a Q plate or a year related plate based on the year of the donor vehicle.
I intend to use the vehicle on the road so it will have to pass the IVA
I intend using all of the mechanicles from the donor vehicle.
I will design and build a chassis (TUB)
Hope you can advise

Letter back from DVLA . Information book (INF 26) page 7 states 1. A vehicle will keep the registration number of the original vehicle if the original UNALTERED chassis / monocoque bodyshell has been used along with TWO other major components from the original vehicle.
2.If a NEW monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit maunfacturer (or an altered chassis or bodyshell from an existing vehicle) is used with two original major components from the donor vehicle, a replacement registration number will be issued based on the age of the donor vehicle. The vehicle must have IVA or MSVA. The date of manufacture for the vehicle will be taken from the IVA or MSVA certificate.
Where insufficient parts from a donor vehicle are used or in cases where the original registration is unknown IVA/MSVA will be required and a 'Q' prefix registration will be allocated.
Is there a Registered list of Specialist Kit car manfacturers (as in 2) or could i have my chassis built by a high class Fabrication company who have all of the qualifications in Welding and Fabrication?
