Does it go for an MOT or is there some other test ?
In my case just a standard MOT because it's just a re-build but if it were a new kit car it would have to go through an IVA, Individual Vehicle Assessment, which costs circa £300 and has many detailed requirements stated minimum radiuses, a ton of stuff, everything has to be 'E' marked and carry engineers approval like seat belt mounting calculations. Exhaust emissions are another difficult area.
There is no way this Marlin could satisfy those regulations, it's too old, although where ever possible I have tried to adopt the principles of the IVA, like radiusing the screen frame.
It's been great fun building it but it will be nice to get it on the road.
