How come this didnt need iva for registering in uk?

[GinG15]

how you knopw it has not been IVA-ed?

[geeeman]

Owned told me it didnt need one to gain registration here....

[Trabi601]

From the plate, I'm guessing registered in 2016, but declared as first used in 1965 with appropriate foreign documents to support.

the 65 US title is fake.....there isnt anything on that car from 65

So 'evocation' is the new word for replica then? At face value, it looks no more correctly described & registered than the plethora of 'rebodied' Duttons doing the rounds.

Be nice if that was wrong, but can't help thinking it is a poor attempt at dodging the IVA.

If it IS a genuine Daytona, someone is getting a bargain at £60k...... (no, I don't really think so either)

Looks nice though.

ETA....even if it was genuine, wouldn't it still require an IVA?? I'm sure I saw a horror story about someone doing a personal import of a Maser and having to SVA it. It failed badly apparently on a whole load of internal projection issues.

It has tax and MOT, so I assume now it has lost the USA paperwork, it will always be 'legit'.

If any imported car is older than 10 years then IVA not required, regardless of what it is. A quirk of the system.

Take two identical cars, one constructed in the UK from an old donor but not correctly re registered, then IVA required. Its sister car built the same way in Azerbazerkardashinastan and then imported into the UK, all that one has to do is pass an MOT and its road legal here for ever more.

a "clever" kitcar manufactuer would clearly profit from that loophole in the uk-reg. laws!!

Ignoring the legalities or moralities of such a car, that thing is bloody beautiful!

Only if you are willing to sink a load of money for not building cars with no buyers and then sit on them for 10 years until you can import and sell them. Also you need to find a country that is easier and cheaper to register a car than the uk, most europenpan countries this is more difficult.

But agree, car is georgeous, just had a look at the Kirkham all alluminium 289 coupe, need to win the lottery!

US and SA will be the countries of your choice.

like it has been done with the above mentioned daytona.

the US title with the old reg-date is from "something"

means, you can built a new kitcar with an old reg-date. no need to wait 10 years.
