could a kitcar with an open boot area be classed as a pickup?

im sensing a loophole that needs taking advantage of...

its a very good question. i had thought about trying to test it as a good vehicle, but i think i'd struggle to convince a tester that the chassis was ever a good vehicle



i had thought about it last year, but decided against it i think on the basis that it can't hold anything, and a tester could refuse to test it

kit car with open boot would never make it through i think sva says the load area (the bed of the pickup) has to make up at least half the total length of the vehicle or something

couldn't you make up a detatchable box/roof like some of the jap 4x4's therefore a small van

The rules on kit classification were changed a few years ago.

The Kaig, one of which I have in bits, cannot be classed as a LDV, van, or light goods.

i did wonder about mounting a petrol pressure washer, and some sort of water hopper, and say ot was for cleaning wheelie bins or something. reckon they'd see through it though :L
