Problem with 1st registry
Discussion
I've been in contact with some authorities in Sweden now. It seems to be quite possible to register the car as "amateur" - built car.
But then there are restrictions on the power to weight ratio.
Are there any Swedish builders here, and how how/are you going to register your cars ?
To be registering as a home-built car, the engine will be small compared to the potential of the structure.
Registering in Norway seems almost inpossible. The former foreign minister in Sweden was right, Norway is the last communist outpost....
;-)
How are cars registered in for example England ? As homebuilt ? What restrictions are there ? Demands on documentation ? Recstrictions on engine-type and exhausts ? Power of engine ?
Any feedback on registration in any country is appriciated !
Good speed !

In the UK a kitcar can be registered in 3 ways.
1. As a new car if all parts used are new. It can have one major part remanufactured.
2. As a ‘Q’ registration meaning ‘Of indeterminate origin’. This means it is made from both new and used parts.
3. Age related registration. In the UK our registration numbers are date related. A car registered this way must have a high proportion of parts from the one donor car i.e. Engine, gearbox, steering, all suspension etc. The car will then be given a registration related to the year the donor was first registered.
All the above has to be proved by presentation of bills and receipts.
A completed car will then have to pass a full mechanical engineers inspection called SVA. This covers all the regulations so takes many hours.
See here http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/road/hj34/sva.html if you want to see just what’s involved. If a car is being built as 3 above but uses the chassis from the donor (i.e. VW Beetle floor pan) then SVA is not required.
The SVA inspector is also looking to ensure everything meets good engineering practice. Although no regulation may have been breeched, if the inspector thinks a part has not been made from a suitable material or material gauge he has the right to reject
There are no restrictions on type of engine, size, power to weight.
The engine must meet the emission regs for the year of manufacture of the engine. If you use a very young engine you may have to fit catalytic converters.
SVA also sets noise levels for the exhaust.

Is it only one major part, but I surpose they may class engine & gearbox as one.
When you say remanufactured I am pretty sure for example you can put a second hand engine it without it being refurbished (If this is what it means )
