 Coupe Project Wanted Some of you may remember that I bought an unbuilt Coupe kit a little while back.
Before I start, I've been wrestling with the idea of getting it through the IVA test and I think that, with effort, it's probably possible - I've read here that one of you has managed it - but it is quite a risk.
However, the other approach would be to buy a rebuild project that is already registered.
So if I could just put it out there that if anyone has such a thing hidden away that could be for sale then I would love to hear from you.
Regards,
Andy Walkingshaw

Re: Coupe Project Wanted Hi Andy,
Peter Leslie got his car through the IVA test O.K. so it is certainly possible.
I plan to build a complete mini based car for the road in the near future and will get it IVA tested.
There was a guy on this forum in Plymouth advertising a project.
Regards
Derek Hambly

Derek Hambly Thanks Derek And thanks for the tip-off (although Plymouth is a long way from Cumbria!) That's a good point regarding the cost of the test being equal to the cost of a project. I have just begun to realise that too. I'm keeping a open mind and I'll look into what comes up. Steve Shield is also sending me some ideas he has regarding what would be needed to pass the test. Andy

Re: Coupe Project Wanted Understood Neil but I am genuinely hoping for a project not a document. Andy

Re: Coupe Project Wanted Thanks to 'Bob' on this forum we now have a fantastic project in the workshop.
This will be a slow one as my son has just turned 15 and it's his to work on over the next couple of years but he'll post updates as we go.
