Actually, for a kit car builder, that has huge advantages: No EVA test if you can use enough of it.

Actually, I think they changed the rules.

When I built my first kit, there was a points system: so many for the engine, the gear box, wheels, front and rear suspension, interior parts and so on. So people would buy a dead car with useful bits, register changes of engine on that, and then transfer into the kit, and keep an age-related plate.

I ended up with a Q plate, it was a bit of a Heinz
  • Front suspension - Ford Cortina
  • Rear suspension - Ford Escort
  • Engine & box - Datsun 140Y
  • Radiator - Morris Marina
  • Steering, pedal box, and instruments - Datsun 240Z
  • Fuel tank - Datsun Bluebird
  • Seats - Triumph Spitfire
  • Filler cap - London bus

The bodywork was aluminium covered marine ply; the chassis was welded steel tubing.
