Hi,
I'm considering building this car below but am not sure that it would pass the SVA, can anyone spot any issues?
Thanks.

Wait a minute though... I have a brainwave... what if... what if... you put a bike engine in it 
I think the arrow on the front might fail the projections/radius requirement!
yes, quite a few. you will need brakes, seat belts, steering mechanism, mudguards and lights.

is there a section where you can apply for steam powered vehicles?
Might need a heat shield.
Emissions, don't think a cat will cope

ah I see where your coming from, so it then has a reverse, very sensible...![]()
I believe a steam powered vehicle is exempt from the SVA in fact... I was reading about a steam car in practical classics that was registered on a 05
plate with no reference to SVA...

That was a good article in Practical Classics about the guy who built the replica 1902 steam wagon.
