Legal TVR Sagaris "opinions"

[Broker Pros LLC]

Hello readers,

I need some input on how much the automobile industry would be willing to pay for a legal TVR kit. Now when I say kit, it gets a bit more complicated than dismantling a vehicle, then reassembling it back to its original manufacture...which is "illegal" I am very educated in the "grey" area with vehicles. I work with a company right now that offers a kit for the Skyline GTR. For those of you who haven't heard, the company name is Kaizo Industries.

A lot of people are convinced that there is no such thing as a kit car for a once already manufactured vehicle. Well, they are correct. You see these Nissan Skylines that people claim as kit cars. When in reality, there is nothing "kit" about them. By putting the original engine in the rolling chassis, they break several laws. One that sticks out the most is getting in the way of the EPA Kit car policy. All who claim these kits need to realize that they are circumventing the clean air act. So where does that leave the people who desperately want to get there hands on a TVR Sagaris or other newer models?

It leaves you with opportunity. When the time is right, we will be offering a TVR kit that allows you to build a unibody to whatever specs you would like. This entails purchasing a unibody that is no longer considered a TVR. It will come with an MSO, a new 17 digit VIN, door jam stickers and new VIN tags within the engine bay. As I mentioned above, it will be a more rigorous procedure compared to simply putting a car back together with no real evidence that is it in fact a true kit.

I have included 2 links which are both educational on this matter.

The first is an FAQ for our current process, but it will be very similar to the TVR kit.

The second link gives a brief summary on the process of Kaizo.

I am not trying to advertise our site. I am simply trying to help people understand what we will soon be offering and if there will be a market for the vehicles.

Thank you for your time.

there is a couple of problems i can think of with trying to do the same thing with a tvr to start with they are not unibody's they have fibirglass bodys that sit on steel chassisis if that makes any differance to your process? and secondly they are many many many nissan skylines so finding good examples is pretty easy TVR's all makes and models were made in pretty small numbers sagaris's are very rare even here where they were sold,

Hey, thanks for your input! Well actually it helps out that it is not considered a unibody and that they are limited production. Im my opinion, they are already a sort of kit car.

That MSO picture in link no2 is illegal. if found out who ever has done this will go to jail. end of subject.

If it come with a true mso you will need to be restered with a wmi and will have to have a sae certified vin

In all honesty being stateside. I think there's a million other problems to deal with first before worrying about the legality of a vehicle, haha. Budget cuts to states (Police are the first to feel it with a 30% reduction in LI alone), Economy tanking, Thousands of foreclosers, Taxes skyrocketing, war budget spinning so fast no oil could lubricate the clock if it wasn't digital and a crappy election. Most peoples thoughts are else where and trust me here on Long Island. Skylines and illegally modified cars run rampant. I've seen at least 10+ skylines here in the past 3 months and something tells me there's no way all those were legal. Getting a car into the country however is a whole nother ball game.

Importing cars into the US is not that hard if you live in a state that just doesn’t care. I have a friend that imports a couple cars per year. Buys them on eBay UK, has title FedEx to him, then registers the car in his local city. As long as they get their tax money they don’t care. He might have to call them “kit cars”. Then he has the car shipped to Canada gets dropped off and drives the car back across tag, and registration in hand. Alabama is about the most lax state with this and Tennessee and Kentucky are others. The 22-year-old blond in the tag window just wants to collect the tax and get back to emailing her boyfriend.
