Didn't your buggy come with one, or are you building a second buggy already? ;-)up

If using the same shell - do bear in mind that not all SWB chassis are the same length - they are shortened to different sizes depending on the type of shell being used

Would you not be better off selling what you have there and starting over with a different project vehicle?  :-\

Plenty to choose from  ;-)up

I don't really see the problem with a Q plate if it's correctly registered. Taxing the car for the summer months would be no real hassle compared with selling what looks like a nice basis for a project to take on another unknown one IMHO.

Hi and welcome to the site. I can understand you wanting a tax free chassis with a  "normal" plate but as David says don't be too bothered about wanting it. OK if you do find a better alternative project out there to swap/change then great. But certainly don't rule out keeping with it and its Q plate tax status.

There are many buggies out there with them and they still look great and the cost of the tax isn't so bad really. Besides we don't care whats on the plate we just care about how much fun they are to drive them!!!!  :D :D :D :D

We have a Q and an historic one so I pay £230 a year on mine but as a Q you get a correctly registered buggy having no problems with the tighter european regulations they keep on about that may come out in the future plus an engine under 1549cc you pay £126.50 or 79.75 for 6 months so not much really.

As said if you are going historic you may as well sell yours and start again as the chances of getting a Q changed to historic is slim although it has been done.
