I agree the body looks like a Mk I Sumo (the fllled in door handles and front hinged bonnet were certainly about even in the early days).

Hi Jim

I have a set of underslung exhausts for a V6 Sumo (2.8) if that is something you are consiering

T answer the original question, s185 of Road Traffic Act 1988 deals with "Meaning of “motor vehicle” and other expressions relating to vehicles.".
s185(1) provides - "“motor car” means a...

I think the fitting of the Granada "wing" (from which the arms hang) provides a great deal of strength for the rear of the Mk 2

But is that mark 2 or 3?

Kevin - with respect (genuinely) I think you have missed the point. Insurers are not entitled to give anyone permission to drive an unregistered car on a public road for any reason.

It seems to me that the crucial bit in all of this is "You must test kit cars or amateur built vehicles to the limits in the vehicle's registration document (V5c). If the V5c doesn't show any...

I think Ian's was always Mk 3 Granada

To an extent it depends on the quality of the "stainless" that you're trying to weld (some "stainless steels" more "magnetic" than others which as I understand it means they are deemed a poorer...

It was designed to stop a car far heavier than your Dax will be....

I think many of you are missing the point of the case - purchaser buys a car with a logbook stating "historic" and relies on that "in part". The DVLA have already, at that stage, decided that they...
