Age related plate... could i get one...

Pretty much all of my running gear is from the sierra donor of which i still have the V5. Steering column, front uprights, rear axle, rear uprights, brakes all round, a lot of the wiring loom.

The engine and gearbox come from different sources and are both Toyota and both older than the sierra.

With the above type statement would I be able to get an age related plate?

What if i tried to persuade the DVLA that the gearbox was from the sierra as well and that the only different things were the engine and rack, would this be a BIG nono?

My Striker was made up from a J plate Sierra running gear and a Toyota engine. I have a J plate on it so you should be OK but they aren't exactly consistant between offices.

Isn't it 3 major component so you have the brakes, transmission (diff etc) why arent you using the steering rack ? that would be the 3rd

column and all switch gear could be my third i guess.

Im tempted just to say that the gearbox was originally from the sierra as well.
