	sounds like bollocks to me this has been in place for years

	The thing is though. If Q plate means modified too then it probably wont be as hard to sell or insure as it is now, as I guess it would loose the stigma that it has at the moment... Perhaps?

They are also trying to put a stop to dangerously modded cars too I guess. yup. even then reading through all that would happen would be the car would be placed on a Q plate - yeah ok harder to sell & such, but still ok on the road. Reading through the the details on that post though & DVLA site, liek they said if the majority of parts are not from the original manufacturer (vauxhall) then points go against it, so surely using parts from vaux (like big-block engines, etc), then it won't count. TBH I think vibs is right with his comment, something out of nothing!

	Provided the bodyshell remains the same, your car is pretty much ok I reckon. Even with engine conversions, provided theyre OEM parts, I don't think it has an effect...

	http://www.dvla.gov.uk/public/consult/veh_inspec/vi_summary.htm PLEASE everybody interested in being able to continue to engine swap, tube frame or significantly visually alter motor vehicles in the UK go to the DVLA web site and go through the nausea of completing thier online submission - also please request a copy of the consultation paper. Doesn't matter if you don't read it - they judge strength of public feeling on the number of them that the send out. basically they are trying to screw anyone moddifying a car, and particularly those of us moddifying older cars (not allowing fitting of more modern components without having to re-register on a Q plate, having to go the SVA for your mods every time, etc.) BTW kit means kit car built to original kit car spec not fitting a body kit. Deadline is 19th July, they're sneaked this fucker on us without any anouncement. ALSO: please copy the link and post it on any other suitable web sites. The consultation list they have for this excercise includes such bodies as "The Christian Road Safety League" and RoSPA and the Vehicle Scrap Dismantlers Association, and not anyone to do with modifying cars or the moddified vehicle industry - need as much support for this as possible. ps. when the fuck will they give up and leave all us cruisers/modders alone!
