Low Volume Compliance

[zoltrix77]

All,

More for curiosty than anything else, can anyone enligten me the process a company would have to take to be able to build and supply Low Volume Cars, eg Cobra Replicas.

From my research, it looks like there have only been two such cars in the past, one being Robnell and the other being the "Coke" cobras.

Information on the DoIT website under "Low Volume Scheme for New Vehicles" mentions thyat the vehicle needs to be on the SEVS register, but it first needs to be a identified model before it can be added. An example would be say when Elfin has decided to make the "Elfin Type 5", what did they have to do before it could be added to the register? And then who decides if the the car does indeed meet the relevent ADRs? Is it a engineer that deals with ICVs? Does each an every vehicle undergo an inspection before a compliance plate is fitted or just the first one?

The DoIT website seems to focus more SEVs cars that are imported 2nd hand via a RAW rather bespoke locally manufactured vehicles. It also isn't very clear about the process for BRAND NEW imported SEVs, who inspects and plates those?

I just thought it might have been likely one of the local kit builders would try to register a few cars this way for a true turn key way to buy a new Cobra that can be easily be transfered between states.

Adam.
