Registration
Hi, I am building an Indy/Fireblade. All parts come from a single doner (Back axle-Handbrake-Front uprights etc) which is registered to me. The
engine/gearbox obviously from a bike. Due to the small amount of parts used from the doner will I still get an age related plate or will it be a
"Q" plate.
Cheers Barry

it really depends on your local dvla office and how they treat kitcar registrations.
I personally was given a J reg for my blade car due to the doner being from that year, others have got Qs and i know of a few who have new
registrations

Wisdom seems to have changed in the last couple of years as to what is preferable. Everyone used to say that age-related was better, but I don't
think there's really much evidence to say there's a financial benefit in age-related, and having a Q means you only have to pass a visual
smoke test at MOT. Only problem is that you can't swap a Q for a personal plate should you want to.

Prior to registering your vehicle, you will have to complete form V627/1.
The 'Built Up Vehicle Inspection Report' V627/1, list major components for a car as;
Chassis/Body Shell
Axles
Transmission
Steering Assembly
Engine
Suspension (front and back)
You only need to use 2 of the above from a donor vehicle to qualify for an age related plate, so you could use either the Sierra or the Motorbike as
donor vehicle. (Engine & transmission ).
Some local DVLA centres will want to see proof of donor ie, a V5. Others will not.
Your best chance of obtaining an age related plate will be to present a V5 for the donor vehicle whose age you are seeking, otherwise you could be
allocated a Q plate.
