Welcome to the forum.

Have you seen the DVLA rules for a kit converted car?

https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registrat...erted-vehicles

Did your kit come with any kind of V5C, or was it basically just a collection of parts?

I’m no expert, but I think you would need to prove the providence of at least two of your major components used to have even half a chance of claiming an original registration number or an age related plate.

You would also have to prove the chassis was built by Broadbest and is not just a random collection of box section welded together. So is there an original Broadbest VIN number type plate sitting in a box of spare parts somewhere, or even an invoice from Broadbest?

Part of the BIVA emission test will relate to the age of the engine. So if you don’t have any paperwork for the engine, do you at least have an original engine number to work with?

Apologies for the list of questions, but it you are desperate to avoid a Q plate, then I’m afraid you will need to do some ‘homework’. My (admittedly limited) understanding of these type of kits is that they consume both time and money at an alarming rate if you want to get the car on the road to a decent standard.

So now might be a good time to establish just what is required to go from this:



To this:



There are two big Countach threads on this forum here:

But everything you might ever want to know is probably here:

Good luck, Paul.
