hi all i just bought a part built kitcar its a ngtf i have all the previous receipts for the kit the donor cars v5 and some photos of the build it was a morris marina estate i have checked the registration number on the dvla system and it is still on there... the car looks to have been built to a high standard the engine of the donor car and rear axle and suspension steering have all been used it was part built over 10 years ago my question is will i still have to put it thru what seems to me to be a very expensive iva test to get it registered and if i do will i be able to retain the original registration number

many thanks to you all for your replies and good advice... so unless i rebody it onto a onother chassis already registered i have to do the iva thing its not that i cant afford it i just think its very expensive just another way to get money into government coffers i will strip the car back and rebuild it anyway i have downloaded the iva manual had a quick read a lot of e marked stuff and radiused edges steering wheels with no holes in the spokes ??i think i may be struggling to get the classic look i was looking for..... at my age i thought things got a bit easier ???lol
