How many of you have age related plate
Just a quick show of hands. How many of you got an age related plate using sierra as donor, but engine of bike; and what date did you pass?
Cheers Michael

you'd have been better doing this as a poll that way the thread wouldn't be so long and you'd get totals.

The answer recently is most people who want one.

Kit Conversions
This is where a kit of new parts is added to an existing vehicle or old parts are added to a kit comprising a manufactured body, chassis or monocoque
bodyshell. The general appearance of the vehicle will change and result in a revised description on the registration certificate.
... If a new monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer is used (or an altered chassis or bodyshell from an existing vehicle)
together with two major components from a donor vehicle, an age related mark will be assigned. The mark will be based on the age of the donor
vehicle. An ESVA, SVA or MSVA test will be required to register the vehicle.
Where there are insufficient parts from a donor vehicle or in cases where the original registration mark is unknown, an ESVA, SVA or MSVA certificate
will be required to register the vehicle and a 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated.
Further up the page the definition of 'major components' is:
suspension (front & back); steering assembly; axles (both); transmission or engine.
Doesn't seem to take much to convince them that prop, diff, driveshaft, uprights/hubs/brakes etc is enough, especially as there seems to be a
reluctance to issue Q's.

Cheers all.
Ian, you seem to have worked out where I was coming from. Problem is I am building my chassis from scratch, and as such (per the rule book);
"If a new monocoque bodyshell or chassis from a specialist kit manufacturer is used (or an altered chassis or bodyshell from an existing
vehicle)"
What with me not being "a specialist kit manufacturer" . . . I was hoping some-one with a total scratch build was going to respond.
Regardless, it's looking hopeful :-)
P.S. Saved me asking the old chestnut question . . . what with proof being in the pudding and whatnot.

All you'd need is a receipt for the steel to prove the chassis' origin.
