I have as much chance of getting an age related plate as Mo Molam winning Miss World
I was just interested how many different cars are incorporated into the 'avareage' locost

Not sure you'll swing an age related plate. You might have got it if you'd used the sierra diff and half-shafts.

Hi again,
On this Q plate thing, does anyone know if you can swing a sort of personal plate?
I'd quite like Q 907 - - -

from the document
If a new monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer is used (or an altered chassis/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/MSVA test will be required to register the vehicle.
thats the way I understood it.
So, if you have a V5 from the car which your engine and gearbox came from, and you have a reciept for the steel you used to build the chassis (a new
chassis is specified) then its an age related plate from the donor - on the V5.
So, provided you have the above, i recon you will get an age plate

ps
note that the '8 points' system mentioned DOES NOT apply to a locost

Think I counted parts from 10 cars in it today.
Engine, g'box, hubs- 2.0i Sierra (donor).
Radiator- Nissan Micra
Pump, Carb/manifold- 2.0 Sierra
Alternator- Bedford Rascal
Water Pump- 1.6 Capri
Clutch Cable- 3.0 Capri
Tappet cover- MK2 Golf
Prop- Transit Van
Diff- 2.8i 4x4 Sierra
Accel Pedal- Mk3 Nissan Micra
Handbrake- Metro
Braided Brake Lines- VW Corrado
Header Tank- Astra
Brake 'T' piece- another Sierra
Okay, guess that's 14 and I'm bound to have forgotten something.

That's about the same as I used on mine for donor parts and they gave me the donor registration at Sheffield VRO. If all the Sierra parts were
from the same car you should get age related at least.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks Stuart.
I wonder how much it would cost?
An arm & a leg, or just an arm.

Hi Mark if you have the same bloke i had just metion all the serria bits when he asks where they came from say the donor
Mine was escort based and i had a serria box when he asked i just said from the donor.
your list looks like you get age related anyway.
How far from testing are you? will you make the Exeter show?
the cars looking good" a blind man would be pleased to see it"
''stop press'' the blind mans seen it said "it felt ok"

Everything is done except the engine wiring, dash, interior trim, boot box, paint (15 very skilled and willing helpers on this one though!!), Exeter
is just possible, but only just
