The guidance notes

state:-
In addition if a vehicle (including a motorcycle):
•
is a kit conversion, where a kit of new parts is added to an existing vehicle, or old parts are added to a kit of a manufactured body, chassis or monocoque bodyshell
changing the general appearance of the vehicle;
it will be considered to have been substantially changed and will not be exempt from MOT testing.
unless
However if any of the four above types of vehicle is taxed as an “historic vehicle” and has not been modified during the previous 30 years, it can be considered as a VHI.
I understand this to mean that a body conversion car will only qualify for VHI if it already has a taxation class of historic and the owner has proof that the body conversion was performed more than 30 years ago.
Are there any other views on this?
Has anybody with a body conversion applied for VHI yet?
