What is involed in space frame car?

I am wanting to build a car built on a space frame. and moving the engine to the rear or mid engined. I want a track car that i can drive on the road, and i wondered what is involved in registering it. Obviously it needs to meet mot standards but Does it need an sva test, and are there any other tests that need to be done. such as checking the weld strength. and crash type test?

No crash test. Or welding tests done, but for the SVA it helps to get an engineer's report on the welding and metal structure. It will need an SVA test. If you use enough parts from a 'donor' car you may be able to keep the original reg no. instead of getting a Q plate. The D & V L A can give you a leaflet which tells you what each part is worth in points. I can't remember the numbers but they go something like; Engine = 2 points, rear axle = 2 points, gear box = 1 point.etc, etc. you have to get about 8 or ten points.

I don't believe you need to crash test or weld strength. Built three rail buggies, I know not relly the same but the only thing I needed to do is make sure it had all the safety equipment and all the lights working properly. If this doesn't help call the state highway patrol and they will be able to get you the paperwork needed.
