Sorry, been distracted this morning...
ACE are a well known authority who explain the complexities of the VOSA and DVLA regulations in every day language.

They also seek and receive clarification from VOSA on what seem to be 'grey areas' on our behalf.
If you are a beginner then you would be well advised to read as many pages from their site as you feel able.

If I had read and acted upon the info available there, I may have avoided wasting well over £2000 and 1,100 hours building a car which was never going on the road. I have been building cars, specials, diggers and trucks all my life, I'm approaching 70 now and I am still learning something new every day!
Remember; Keep It Simple!
