I'm still trying to figure out the whole registering thing for a home built car. Now, I've heard of people buying a U.S. title and basically using all the info off it for a new built car????? So does this mean i could build for example a model a ford with brand new chassis and say a 350 v8 small block and traditional suspension etc... get a model a U.S. title (probly off ebay) and use all that info to make a I.D. plate and fix to it, m.o.t it and register it????????
Do people buy these titles from anywhere else?

The only problem i see with buying a title from the US is that you wont have any documents to say that the taxes have been paid when the vehicle was imported into the country and if you dont have those docs the DVLA wont register it...

hhhmm i see. So if i built a traditional model a i'd have to go through the whole sva business and try and stick to the points system thing to get it registered.........that means no roof chop, i think the chassis has to be original aswell though which means i couldn't build my own, and no 350 small block (if what i read is correct). I know custom car have been running a feature on it over the last few issues but i think i missed an issue or something. God its so confusing, i wish it was like american rules!

Hi Luke,

I have registered some in the past but give us a bell when you got time, it would take me to long to write an essay with one finger.

Cheers.
