My kit car idea.
Discussion
A new Morris Minor van chassis is about £1300.
A rotten donor car can be £500.
Running gear stuff like springs and dampers and bushes is easily available and comedy cheap.
The body would be much like an Elva Courier, no opening doors and no opening boot
Re-use Morris loom, clocks, seats etc
Super light. Super simple. Classic looks.

So do you think a new chassis will mean you don't have to put the car through I|VA? Is that your plan, 'cos if so I think you're wrong. Sure, the chassis not been "modified", but it's been replaced and IMHO that can't be compliant.
Like a lot of things kitcar, it's all OK until it goes wrong then the world and his brother (read VOSA, DVLA and insurance co's) will be down on you like a ton of bricks. All IMHO of course
