How odd. Imagine the work, the effort and the money that went into doing that.
I wonder what led to it's inception/creation.

Just got to be ridiculous amounts of work Mike.
Is that Q plate info he gives about RWD conversions being illegal on normal age related plates correct do you know?
I always thought that Q plates were for cars built out of 2nd hand parts, like kit cars and bad write-offs etc

Bugger And Q plates look so crap too.
Just makes it look like you're some pikey driving about in a cut-n-shut.
I can't determine whether my 'pie-in-the-sky' plan for my car would score 8 points or only 3, based on that system.  
The wording re the body is a little misleading I think.

Nic's Corsa only had an engine change! the astra had the drive wheels moved from manufactures
specification so this why the test was needed, the car is set up as front wheel drive not rear.
