Putting a race car back on the road- possible or not?

Hi every one,

Now i've just taken on a new project in the form of a ex stock hatch saxo with a difference! Was raced by previous owner in stock hatch then a massive rebuild started to convert it to k20a honda power and race in a different championship. Front end is partly space framed and rear. Also a very comprhensive roll cage.

All the work was carried out by previous owner to extremely high standard. He works in motorsport fabrication with a big portfolio.

Now at the moment I have a fully caged shell waiting to be built up. My current plan is to use the car for track days and hill climbs.

But! Part of me is wondering if the car could be IVA'd?

There is no log book so starting from scratch, can it be done?

It will likely end up on a Q but if you aint bothered about that and you accidentally forget someone else did all the work and you suddenly find all the receipts then can't see why not?

if its space frames at the rear (ie any chassis alterations) it'll need IVA,
but if you do it right, there's no reason whay you can't put it on the road
