29 roadster that is a ford capri.

Lol
And amazingly a Capri (original donor) could be worth a few quid.
Log book probably quite valuable to someone with a Capri with no i.d.!?

Anyhoo, if there's a moral to the story it's to tally things up before any purchase.

ACEBOPPER – I think everyone else has covered the can of worms you will open at the DVLA.

So I just I wanted to give you an example of what Kapri was talking about here…



I followed a build that used this 100% road legal kit car as a starting point…



Before a rebody with an aluminium bodyshell and other work resulted in this 100% road legal alternative.



The ‘new’ car follows the DVLA rules and the V5C was updated with no problems.

Hope that helps, Paul.

Any more info or a link on that build Paul?

Thank you for the link, even if it did make me feel like an idiot. Was so sure it wasn't in that forum and was looking at locosts etc to find it - turns out I had been skipping that thread for years thinking it was the one based on the volvo P1800...
