Evening all
How many parts need to be used from the donor vehicle to qualify for an age related plate and how do you prove they were all from the same car?
You can use as many parts as you require from the donor, there are no minimums or maximums. Just present the V5 to the person at the DVLA who carries
out the inspection (after you have passed the SVA). The inspection is mainly to check that the vehicle is as you have described it, the chassis no is
the main thing, you dont even need an engine number. I have had two SVA s neither engine had a number ( been ground off!)
Good Luck

Kit Conversions
This is where a kit of new parts is added to an existing vehicle or old parts are added to a kit comprising a manufactured body, chassis or monocoque
bodyshell. The general appearance of the vehicle will change and result in a revised description on the registration certificate.
A vehicle will retain its donor registration mark if either the original unmodified chassis or unaltered monocoque bodyshell and two other major
components are used. If a new monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer is used (or an altered chassis or bodyshell from an
existing vehicle) together with two major components from a donor vehicle, an age related mark will be assigned. The mark will be based on the age of
the donor vehicle. An ESVA, SVA or MSVA test will be required to register the vehicle.
Where there are insufficient parts from a donor vehicle or in cases where the original registration mark is unknown, an ESVA, SVA or MSVA certificate
will be required to register the vehicle and a 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated.
Hope that makes it clear.
Have been through the registration process twice now, just take along the V5 as i have said above, dont complicate things!

That's really strange because they failed mine at SVA because the tester couldn't find the engine number. Ten minutes with a set of punches
proir to retest, and there you are , original V5 engine "refitted". Ray
