This looks wild but nothing like that sr2. Shame it isn't roadworthy

The mini is a personal fav but my misses who is in charge of my cash has said I ain't getting a mini yeah the wheels on the westy are shite. How much to get a car road worthy in terms of lights, switches etc? 1k

Loving the mazda. Looking at it as a project

The Iva/ tax and insurance will be around £1000
That doesn't include parts.

Tax and insurance go through my firm but the iva I'd have to stump up for. Plus there's correct positioning and switchgear and exhaust emissions?

I'm not gonna bother with the track car now. I spoke to mike (owner) of road runner racing today and what a nice bloke he is. Told me alot of stuff regarding the car in question and getting it through an IVA. He told me the car hasn't got a log book from the donor which would be my first stumbling block. From there it'd need a fair but of work to get it through and to me I just don't see it worth it. I was close to just offering the guy a figure and just picking it up and going from there glad I didn't.

Most of the people I speak to in the kit car game are really nice blokes who have a lot of time for you. Mikes another to add to the list now along with andy b, malc from YE and Graham from flatshifter.

Gonna hold out now and watch the market like a hawk. Pounce when needed

A logbook from donor is only needed if going age related number plate,not a problem with getting it tested and registered as a Q plate.

Tbh it'd been handy especially if the vehicle was pre 92 as it'd made emissions a load easier. Hats off to all you boys that build and comply to the regulations these days. Some of the stuff amazes me. Also yet 3 years later when it needs an MOT some of the stuff won't even matter.
