That's why Land Rover defenders have a silly amount of seats now. The short wheelbase Land Rover 90 is only a 4 seat vehicle and the huge long wheelbase 110 is only a 7 seat vehicle.
They are not allowed to fit sideways facing seats now and all seats have to have seatbelts. Also the centre seat is not allowed because of all the gear levers infront of the passenger.

Our old 110 had 12 seats in it and my 1967 LWB is a 10 seater.

has anyone managed to come up with a simple list of the changes that will actually affect the cobra kit car?.
I have seen the draft documents & refences to some specific items & eu directives etc etc.
I am also not sure if the draft document has yet been confirmed.
Possibly the Kit manufacturers would have an idea of what will actually be required.
It would be nice to have a readable overview, so that builders can get the big picture, then focus in on the details of specific items as required.

Pages 13 and 14 of the draft as available on the VOSA web (see link in thread above) shows the 60 or so areas to be 'tested' and the relevant EC regulations.

Kit cars will only go through a Basic IVA but it will cover more, a list of the new areas would be good to see. My local VOSA office only has a single sheet saying it's happening and that's all at the moment.

One thing that sticks out from page 13 is 'Rear Registraion Plate' !
