not exactly.
In our case Nottingham DVLA were prepared to issue an age related plate but in the end, the fact that my engine had a german log book was the only reason for a Q.

If you're using ALL new parts and a bike engine that you can show has been reconditioned to as new condition you could get a current (new) registration.

if you go this route be sure to keep EVERY receipt, the DVLA require substantial proof that everything is new

Cheers

I'm wondering about whether to try and get a new reg when I get round to starting my build, but I saw something on the locostbuilders forum that one of the guys on there hadn't been able to convince the DVLA that the bike engine and gearbox were one unit. It's probably worth getting confirmation from the DVLA if you're going to spend extra money for the new plate.

If you are using all new parts and just one proven reconditioned part (Robin Hood just painted it and said it was reconed) then you can have a brand new current year (08) number. The Robin Hood SuperSpec achieved this with a new Rover engine a Ford MT75 box a recon Sierra rear end and Sierra front suspension and some dodgy steering rack. The new owners are a little are a lot better.
On the DVLA buildup report application form it asks about the origins of the Chassis/body shell. Axle, Transmission, Steering assembly, engine and front and back suspension.
The chassis/body will be new, the axle, steering assembly will be from the donor, the suspension back and front will be new, the axles will be from the donor. If you go bike then both engine and transmission are one.

You may get an age related but i belive that on a Q you will get a better emmisions allowance than on the engine age.
