New Emissions Proposals For Kit Cars

[Guest Patt]

Canned it was - got my 2B through IVA at the end of Dec 2018, 2lt pinto, big valve head, fast road cam and a dgas carb. Sailed through the  emissions bit no bother

Lifting an old topic, but what happened with this proposal in the end? I can't find anything relevant on the DVSA web site (but might have missed it).

I'm toying with the idea of building a bike engined car for some track day action, but if these emissions changes come into force, I think it might be difficult to get through emissions.

OTOH, maybe a bike engined car would automatically end up on a Q plate, which sounds like a get-out-clause?

 

I and several others submitted their views and I got a reply...eventually, saying that the proposals had been dropped and that the U.K. government valued its creative small car builders meaning no real change for IVA.

 

i am not aware of what happened about the resto mod proposals but assume the whole paper was dropped.

im still fuming about the general lack of interest and the endless prevarication, one Facebook club site owner even said he did not care as his car had past IVA and was on the road. “I’m all right jack” syndrome.

For me it was about the preservation of kit cars and specialist vehicles, manufacturers, suppliers and sheer joy of building and driving your own individual behicle.
