Hi, can anyone out there tell me the legal problems conected to building a twin engined 2cv, and using it on the road ?? ie Insurance, MOT, dvla etc ??
Assuming you're making a twin engined 2cv using mainly 2cv bits, there's no real problem with DVLA - unless you want to change the V5 in any way - there's only space for one engine number anyway. If you did bring them into it, it'd depend on how much of the car'd been changed - we got our 4x4 to say "4x4" on the logbook and kept the original plate. Fairly simple process, if a bit drawn-out by bureaucratic incompetence rather than any particularly onerous regs.
MOT would just follow the normal rules.
