if you build it to the iva regulations then it would get a pass but you loose the historic tax break.

Indeed -

If anyone has any advice on this one for our new friend here (and hopefully they do) could I ask that they do it privately via PM or phone please, for obvious reasons -

I don't think they watch the forums very closely. I've seen loads of posts on the build of a well known road-legal drag racing car which appears to have absolutely no parts from the original vehicle but still retains the Reg No, classic car status etc. Big Brother appears to have taken no action despite the same vehicle being magazine & TV featured.

The thing is there are too many Big Brothers that could make life difficult if they wanted, from DVLA to MOT testers who could flag up a car for a VIC check if something didn't match to VOSA inspectors who regularly stop vans and trucks for spot checks (I've been stopped twice this year in my van) but have been known to pull anything 'unusual' in too.

I'd just rather not give them the ammo.
