Maybe someone wiser than me can tell us if this car should have an SVA/IVA test and if not does it run the risk of being crushed.
No. I think that Under the rules that govern modifications, you can beat it on either of 2 counts.
1) It's a points based system and apart from the body everything else is standard. So the points are not too high.
2) It was clearly done before those Rules, although it would help if there was some documentary proof. Like previous owners submissions to insurance companies ? Like photos in the paper ?
In terms of valuation, it's very hard in my oppinion. A very niche market. But lets say I wanted to MAKE one like it. I'd need about 15 hours with a welder and cutting torch and and a few bits of tin, so lets say £1000. (Plus paint, plus the original car, Say £2 - £4K for insurance valuation.
