I have looked at the options for the run out on the Saturday, and due to a bike meet of 250-300 people at the aviation museum, I will plan on going to the bubbles car museum https://www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk/. This is approximately 45 miles. There is no need to book we can just turn up, this is assuming we are all capable

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it. I'd love to encourage you to go ahead anyway but I feel it would be a bad idea at your young age - there are better things to do with your time and money IMO (save up for a house, travel and see the world etc). There is a reason most kit-car owners/builders are grey-haired - we're old enough to have some money spare but not young enough for Magaluf or parachute jumps .

To reply to your original first question number 5 (yes you have two question no 5s), You want to know how much of the car has to be non standard before various tests are required. This is all explained at the .gov website, look down the list of degrees of modifications, from rebuilt vehicles to radically altered vehicles and see whats needed to get them on the road. Not all need a type approval test. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration

Many thanks for info on garages. In my youth I was quite happy messing around stripping down cars, but having reached the young age of 68, I'd rather leave it to others now, plus, I live in a small apartment complex, and shared car park, so not an ideal place to do any work. I am however looking forward to the club meets, and getting advice from experienced owners such as yourself, on how to maintain, and upgrade my new acquisition, Regards Ken.
