Baz, not the first, gus's car was tested in Exeter last year. According to the tester there is a regular trickle of locost type vehicles going through.
The inpection process was very thorough, lasting just over four hours. The main issue was the emissions which I was allowed to tweak into range. No other potential showstoppers thank goodness. In retrospect it was quite an enjoyable process! After the test went straight round to the DVLA office and much to my surprise came away with an age related reg number and a road taxed! I was over the moon  cheers John

I had a quick look at this as its something i want to do. The problem is the numbers, to have a decent soft top it needs to hang and tension off the screen. That in turn cannot be just bolted to the scuttle as its just not strong enough. Also its having a screen made X10 as thats the minimum brasscraft will entertain and its got to have enough beef to stop the top strip being ripped off when the wind gets under the hood so you can all forget about using an old showerscreen , then making the brackets x10 for the mounting off the underdash frame, then x10 for a set of hoops, then x10 for the weather gear. Then the biggest hurdle is getting a group buy going for what will probably end up a £500 item complete when a bolt group buy at under £20 never seems to get off the ground

i have spoke to a co in tamworth that makes the windows and frames for the trains i work on while we where looking at redesigning some of the windows for our fleet and the guy rekoned he could make the hole lot as long as it would be a batch of at least 10 and i designed it all for him as thay do all sorts of coaches and meny other public transport type windows and frames anyway and have all the tooling already inhouse to do such a job.
sadly i have to much on at the mo to get onto it and im not planing to fit a windscreen until i have my car past its iva
