Morning all,

I'd like to be able to test my Super6 at normal road speeds because I need to do things like bed in the new brakes (new discs and pads and drums etc.. all round) and try to sort out why the steering won't self-centre (an SVA requirement) but the problem is it's not yet a registered road-legal car, so I can't just go for a blast.

Is there anywhere I can take it to play around? I'm thinking of an old airfield or similar?

You could try Croft Circuit. They have stretches of road set aside for testing.

Their testing days seem to be for race licence holders only

I can't really take it to a normal track day because I need to do slower testing stuff like the self-centering.

Bring it down here. Every weekend there seems to be a fair selection of cars 'testing' on the local council estate. I suspect not being registered wouldn't be an issue with them, not having tax, MOT or driving licences either...

You misunderstand me. I'm not suggesting you take it on a track test day. They have other areas, not on the track, where you may be permitted to test the car.
