the top picture looks like an SVA ready one. Don't think it would be difficult to pass. Then again I would think it would keep the original donors reg so no SVA.

looks fun too

check out how much it uses from the donor, with out a doubt it would use the donors reg..

could you do that keep the reg then no sva. what if the police pull you and it comes back as a 126 hhhhhhmmmmm.

My beach buggy is registered (properly) as a VW beetle, I went though all the correct procedures to do it. It looks about as much like the donor as that thing does.

No SVA just an MOT

Oh and if you found a donor that's pre 1973 then you don't have to pay road tax either

Finding a cheap fiat 126 would be your biggest problem

It has more than 20 BHP so a normal SVA is the right test.

You need to keep the unmodified chassis to avoid SVA and you don't with the Blitz.

Poland man, mekkah of the fiat 126. They had a factory there and it was the standard 2nd family car in Poland.

I've been there a few times and in each street you see several ones. And as it is Poland they're dirt cheap.

Yep you want to look at there KR2 my locost is on thin ground every time I see one, my engine will go in there ..Sweeeeeet

They use other fiat donors these days still very cheap. I paid £75 for what would have been a perfect donor last year.

And I prefer the look idea of a two seater that uses the mini. They are cheap here.

The extras are a RIP OFF though!! Aluminium floor, £175... WHAT A JOKE!
