It does need a certain amount of points if you use the original, unmodified chassis. But if you modify the chassis, or use one that is not identical to the original, then the points system does not apply, and it needs either an IVA or an SVA.

In relation to the discussion we're having on the other thread, what's the position WRT using a second hand chassis of the correct spec? Say i want to repair my rotten 300tdi and am too tight to buy a new galv chassis, so i buy one from a breaker that's come of 300 that's been written off, but had a solid chassis.

Not too sure how this works but i have a 1972 lightweight on a shortened 1980 rrc chassis its a 3.9 and is on the rrc number plates but clearly states on the log book its a historic vehicle and is tax exempt

Then you need to either use the ID from the chasis donor vehicle, or use the chassis and submit the rebuilt vehicle to an IVA. After which, provided you can give a receipt for the chassis, you will probably be given an age related ID and reg. If the chassis cannot be identified though, or you have no proof of purchase, then you will be issued with a Q plate.

Not entirely true. First off, the year the points regs came in was 96. Also If you modify the chassis, or use a 2nd hand one then you still need an IVA. The chassis change/modification regs pre-date the points system, so they still apply even if you built the vehicle before 96.If it was modded afore 98 no problem

Surely you'd need more than just the chassis to retain the reg from the donor vehicle under the points system though?

Please can someone tell me what position I am in with reference to a chassis change? I have just bought, from a breakers, a reclaimed chassis which is going to be blasted and then galvanised before becoming the replacement for my D2.
In simple terms for a simple soul, what do I need to do to make my newly re-chassied vehicle legit??? I have the receipt for the chassis although my mechanic is not picking the chassis up until the beginning of Jan .
Reading through this thread is worrying me and making me wonder if I have made a big mistake.
