Post 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

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

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.

Understood Neil but I am genuinely hoping for a project not a document.

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.
