7 wonders of the world Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Advice needed here please....! I'm Looking to build from a starter kit and as your probably aware you can only have 1 reconditioned part. That said I need to produce invoices for all items in order to get the car on a current non Q plate Can anyone offer advice or expiriences on 'invoicing' and what is declared on a certificate of newness how detailed is it? or is is simply a straight forward declaration of conformity by CC. Any advice on getting through the paperwork in order to obtain a current plate would be welcome, - don't want to build it and fall foul at the last hurdle !! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganMan Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 As far as I remember the CC certificate of newness just stated that everything supplied by them is new. I bought a complete kit and obviously the certificate of newness covered the entire car. In your project the CC certificate of newness will only cover the chassis. If you diligently collect your invoices and ensure that major units are clearly described as "new" on the invoice you shouldn't have any trouble; the combination of visual inspection by the SVA inspector and documentary proof supplied by you should get you through.

paul jacobs Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 A slight hijack.................does anyone know if, when a car is registered and a certificate of newness from CC is presented, the DVLA cross check this with CC or just accept it on face value? Paul J. Hard work never killed anyone ........ but why take the chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red SLR Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Some VROs want to inspect the car to check the CON. LeMans 2005 pics here FREE SEVEN CHAThere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yes, they normally do to match the numbers, Simon, and the car will undoubtedly match the details shown on the CoN, but how original does the CoN have to be?

Paul McKenzie Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The new V5C will still say "Kit built/Converted - Assembled from parts all of which may not be new" even if you don't get a 'Q' and supply a CON - just love the EU don't you Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Just to clarify................??? Matching numbers - VIN numbers against CON or invoice numbers ??? Has anyone had there vehicle inspected by the VRO to check for new parts etc if so where and how recent, what was the outcome? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Nope - but will be fairly soon. My car is a 99 I think so I am not sure if they will give me a 99 (S?) reg or a new 05? LeMans 2005 pics here FREE SEVEN CHAThere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bafty Crastard Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 When I had my car registered they stated an inspection was required "to ensure the car existed"!! Edited by - Bafty Crastard on 10 Aug 2005 08:53:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Interesting, would they not accept the SVA certificate as proof of existance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinray Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I just been through a similar process rebuilding a Superlight. There isn't a CoN with the starter kit - but my guess is that CC could be pursuaed to issue one after the post build inspection if they were sure that the parts were all new (except one). Suggest you call Simon Lambert at CC about this, I've always found him helpful. We had more than one used part (but from a single donor car) and got the registration year of the donor car. This involved both an SVA and an inspection by the Oxford branch of "Swansea" (can't remeber the real name off hand). The inspection was v short - about 2 minutes - and confined to checking engine and chassis numbers. They did mention that they check all Caterhams - although about 3 years ago they didn't check my newly built car and took the CoN at face value. My impression is that they have tightened up the procedure. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
