About £50 less than one with a Pinto in .





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

a bare chassis's £710 for reference

gotta be over a grand, if not £1500. it's so much easier building knowing you don't have to sva at the end of it

Got to be at least £2500-£3000.

Think of the cost of all the bits alone.

It wouldnt be a full job. It would be pretty much an assembled indy delux kit. No engine, seats, tank, brakes and anything else worth taking to build something else. The SVA certificate has to be worth a fair bit itself as it costs a fair bit to get though sva especially if u have to buy closed loop cat system etc.

so:

chassis,
powdercoat,
floor,
wishbones,
wishbone bushes,
ball joints + TREs,
rack,
shocks,
diff,
front and rear uprights,
brake lines,
ally side panels,
cycle wings + brackets,
loom,
low mileage wheel bearings?
rear panel?
scuttle?
bonnet?
bonnet catches?
nosecone?
column?

it soon adds up.

i'd say an sva certificate is worth about £500 when you've added the cost of the test and possible retest, day off work, £38 first reg fee, time to cover all the edges, cost of edging materials and covers, arsing about with the dvla....................

i'd say my original estimate was low. going through it all, i'd probably be looking for more like £3k. it just depends what your new project is as to how much you'll need to keep.

Would be interested to hear the outcome of this Carnut!

I would have thought a taxed, MOT'd and SVA'd MK rolling chassis would be £4k minimum, dependant on wheels / tyres / brakes. If you left in the dash, seats and trim, lights etc then £5k?

I'm deadly serious. I'll give you £400 for the logbook, chassis no, reg plate and sva certificate (in other words just the paperwork

It's cheap because it fell off the back of a lorry



That would leave him with a rolling chassis worth £1200 with no docs and £400 cash as opposed to a chassis with docs worth £3000+, sounds good to me
