Theoretically speaking, if i bought a fwd car with no vin or v5 (ex-grass tracker) to use on a custom tubular rwd chassis, and then fitted the running gear from something else, would there be any way of registering it and getting a plate? Or is it best avoided?
Cheers fellas

Not practically, no. You'd need to get it IVA tested, and it'd need to comply with most standards that a new car would.

How does a company then legally sell a classic mini with a Honda vtec motor powering the rear wheels? How do homebuilders get locost 7's registered then? Just curious, as I can see the builder of a homebuilt car agreeing to having it crash tested  |

IVA doesn't crash test homebuilders vehicles  You can download the IVA manual for free and can then look at all the hoops people have to jump through to get a kit car legally registered. |

Hi, I think the two key words in the OP are 'custom chassis'. Which means it's not based on an existing vehicle and so is a new build and would have to comply with latest regulations laid down in the IVA manual.
