Private number plates???
Does anyone know what the law is regarding fitting private plates to a kitcar.
It looks as though my car will be a 'Q' plate, if i ever get that far. I have a private plate on retention, can i register the car with
the Q plate and then put on the private number once on the road?
Probably not.............that would be too easy!

Once a Q always a Q unfortunately, so you cant put another plate on it.
If its not a Q then you cant put a plate on that would make the car newer than it is....
If its a D reg to start with, you cant put any plate later than a D on. Only earlier.
Probably doesnt make sense...

Sorry. If you get a Q plate it has to stay as a Q. If you want a privat plate on then you need to get an age related plate first.

Will i get a Q reg?
I am building a Toyota 4AGE powered Locost with a Sierra gearbox, Escort back axle and prop and Cortina front hubs.
unfortunately i dont have a V5 for any of the above, although i have the complete Corolla.
Do i have any options/possibilities, or is it a definite Q plate?
Are there any tricks out there to get by the problem?
Surely most Locosts must be Q plate, if not why?

You definitely need a V5 or youve no chance. If you could get a V5 then you have a chance, you need 2 major components from Engine, Steering assy,
Axles (both), Transmission, Suspension (Front & Back). Therefore if you can get a V5 you could change (theroretical) say the engine to the 4age
before you use it as the donor.
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

It is looking like a Q plate for me then.
What is the problem with that? is it just the stigma attached?
How does the registration mark affect the value? not that i can really see me selling my car.
What other disadvantages are there to having a Q plate?

I can think of one big advantage to a Q plate, no emissions test come MOT time
