SVA rally car? A bit OT
Looking towards another project, I was considering rear wheel drive converting a Fiesta for road rally / trackday / work car use.
As the car would have to retain its' original silhouette, will be using the original engine (albeit north / south) and the only real
alteration would be a transmission tunnel, rear suspension and a rear diff, would this constitute "radically altered" and require an SVA.
If it did then it would end up q plated and a lot of extra cost, that I would have to consider before the build
Your thoughts gentlemen please

Im almost certain you dont need SVA 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

We had this discussion last week!

The key words are 'modified chassis', indicating you would need SVA. I suspect it's a bit of a grey area though in terms of how much
modification is too much. I guess you really need to talk to you local DVLA office as it's them who would make the decision.

You look at the number of hot rods on the road. These have serious mods and no SVA. No one seems to pull them up.
