Yep, absolutely as per first post!
I think you misunderstood what I was saying, you may still need and IVA but if you have the 8 point you can keep the original registration. Having 8 points doesn't mean you won't need an IVA
Totally agree with this by the time you have built the proto type and any jigs you may need etc, marketed it & started production any of the less common donor vehicles will be virtually extinct.Just confirm you are looking at this as project/business?
I think others are assuming you are building a project where using a less common vehicle wouldn't be an issue
As a business you need to aim at the biggest market.
That's not correct. The 8 point rule is interpreted as it is written (which does not mention lights, seat mounts etc.).Exactly.
Taking the shell off and replacing it with something completely different, new seatbelt mounts, new lights, new seat mountings - all radical alterations, meaning IVA.
