Q letter registration plates are given to kit cars, where there are someparts used from a donor car, but so many parts are new that the old reg plate would be misleading if applied. - basically Q plates signify that the age of the vehicle (i.e. sum of parts) is indeterminate.  -  downside is that people will assume it\'s a kitcar full of old parts.

When I went to pick up my FD from the importers I went to Dave at TVMOT straight after, I was about 2hrs late, but he waited for me, and passed me. good chap!

The emissions test for cars like ours is as follows a car built before aug 01 1995 has to pass under 3.5 % for co emissions cars after this have to get under 0.5%.
my car was just after and was struggling with emissions got down to 1.1% after fiddling from 2.4% but mot tester did a default test instead and hey presto my car now on road again
