Litton Corse build with 2.0l Lancia 8v TC

[Strat Fan]

I will check on what is planned regarding the tailpipe. I have read elsewhere that the tailpipe should have a radius if it protrudes from the bodywork by more than 10mm, however the exhaust is underneath the rear body work, not protruding through it. I assume this will mean it needs a radius?

We have a V5 that tallies with the engine, the Beta HPE was scraped but this was never declared to the DVLA. From what I have read on the forum, this seems to be the right way to go so as to retain the V5.


Thanks, Michael

The exhaust will be contactable so will require a radiused end, they use a cone to determine the plan of the body & it goes a long way under the boot panel of a Stratos replica due to the height of the bodywork.

Good news on having a V5 which tallies to the engine, double check that the engine number on the doc is the same as the one on the block, also make sure that you can read the number on the block easily & that it doesn't look to have been tampered with in any way. You will therefore be emissions tested on the age of the engine rather than having to meet a current emissions standard.

When you have passed the IVA test & gone through the rigmarole with the DVLA you should then be issued with a new V5 doc which has a previously unused registration from the year of the donor car.

Thanks for all the info Craig, all very helpful.

I guess something will have to be done about the tailpipe as, from looking in the IVA manual, there's no way of satisfying a radius curvature of 2.5mm at present.

Yes all good about the engine, specifically on the emissions front. I could imagine trying to meet modern emissions on a Beta TC to be challenging if we did not have the V5.

Thanks, Michael
