If it wasnt for the crappy eu rules which we adopted overnight earlier last year, I would have bought this today. Completley fully prepped seam-welded Impreza WRX rally car. My buyer phoned earlier and said he had something for me.
The only way of making it road legal in this country would be to do a ringer as its a 1997 vehicle.
The worst thing is it would only have cost me around £4.5k to make road legal without SVA and all that crap. Its probably worth twice that.

Could you not geat a crashed car and tell the dvla that the crashed cars been repaired and another engne stuck in then a few month later tell them the chassic numbers changed. You don't have to bother swopping any plates round as the rally car suddenly becomes the "repaired" crashed car.
What about sticking it in as a kit car?

When the model reports came out last year. Anything over 10 years old is just a straight MOT and no probs.

Its possible but the car will also be devalued as the history wont be able to be verified by the prep comoany that carried out the work. Originally Posted by edde

I can bring it in. Its just putting it on the road the proper way would be a fortune or I could just change the identity of the car.
To pass the model report the car would have to be completely standard.
