my wifes uncle used to be the UK distributor for FF. he originally imported and converted a coupe to RHD and it went through IVA with no issues so it can be done.

Any update on this or other FF kit owners in the uk?

I really like the look of the '35 truck; by all accounts they can be built and registered in the uk without too much trouble.

Ive been wondering if you could even put one through a business as a pick up?! I cant find anything in the hmrc rules to say it wouldnt qualify...

Would make a very cost effective and cool v8 workhorse!

Anyone know?

oh, I really like these.
I am coming to the end of a project this year and may well take the plunge on this.
Need more info - looking into it.

Have you not considered the UK option?

To answer the June post I visited the FF factory a few years ago and I am currently building a right hand drive FF Mk4 cobra. It arrived in February in a large wooden crate. So far the build has gone smoothly and there have been no unexpected challenges in complying with IVA requirements.

Thanks, Regarding your Ff daytona and iva
Will you be running a glass rear screen? Is front headlight height an issue?
Will silencing be an issue for the side exit?

You need to speak with Tech-Autos.co.uk who have just put a FF Daytona coupe through the IVA. No huge dramas from what I understand.
