Bucket T

Can anyone point me in the direction of some Bucket T kits, in the UK if possible. Also are Hot rods with exposed engines road legal?

I expect you'd struggle to pass IVA with an exposed engine. Once you're past it may be easier to drive around with an exposed engine and not get into too much bother.

getting that legal is a bit more complicated than he thinks

You would need to search for T Bucket rather than Bucket T

Seen that and I think he's wrong about no needing SVA.

bttopic, always wanted a T myself, but as it's taken me 3 1/2 years to update the car and only three to scratch build, reluctant to start anything else

I'm moving in a couple of months and I've got some money put aside to start building. I was planning on doing a seven but I'm really atracted by the Idea of a T.

So we recon the exposed engine is probabl not allowed, is there anything see threw that could be used to replicate the look more safely?

I've seen that one before and I'm still confused at to what he's actually selling

I've searched both ways round but I've not found a UK manufacturer yet, I found a couple of Real T's in need of a lot of restoration for about £3,000. I'm actually amazed as to how cheaply you can Buy a Model T, there seem to be quite a few runners out their for around £12,000 (For cars older than my Grandparents).
