Title: Registering a CSX4000 in the UK
Post by: a98 coupe on November 13, 2018, 21:26:33

Hi, Would be interested in knowing if anyone has experience of the following. if I was to import a CSX4000 into the UK would it gain a V10 without having a Q plate?

It depends, I believe, on whether or not it was made by a licensed motor vehicle manufacturer and originally registered as such. If it wasn't, it would have been registered as a 'Specially Constructed Vehicle' or similar (regulations vary from state to state) and would, per my reading of UK regulations, only qualify for a 'Q' registration.

Much appreciated. I have now sourced a very original ac in This country so feel more secure.
Thanks
