Hi Peter,
There were quite a few pre SVA Q plate cars.
Do you think most of those would be described as the kit name, or at least, whatever the owner chose as a make and model name?

Seems to be a legit car originally registered at the time 1988 as what it would have been - Transformer - I have had plenty of old kits from similar periods all correctly registered using the old built up report process on the V627 form. The forms were usually included as part of the build manual with an example of how to fill it in.
That was the case with the Allora I acquired from John Hanlon. Correctly described on a Q plate at the time of build so as others have found it was done right at least some of the time.
Lets hope whoever wins it does not bin the Lampredi, vx or not hopefully the crank will be ok and they are pretty much all worth saving.
Even Norm's boat anchor Lampredi 'lives' on ;)
Seller also has a rebuilt twink for sale. He's been advised not to turn the supercharger until it's been stripped off and inspected. If it's okay it's sale will probably finance a V6 motor and box. Fortunately he's accepted that advice so the motor might be salvageable.
Clearly has plenty of interest with 720 currently keeping a watch on it -
This was up for £15K a while back - cannot quite believe it was over 2 years ago) and sold pretty quickly

I really should get on and do some more on mine - then again if this hits silly numbers....
That wasn't registered either was it Andrew?
The registration must be worth a fair bit more even?
Indeed John - that one was unregistered - It did have an Alfa V6 and some nice parts but it gave a good indication about how healthy the market was/is for projects.
£19099! Blimey....
£19.099 in the end!!
