6x6 approval?

[dieseldog]

Is it possible to get a 6x6 approved here?

Or would it have to be basically a brand new vehicle built by Special vehicles as a 6X6 to get a CoC?

Can anyone help with the rules for building kit cars and self built vehicles from existing components?

Any real help greatly received.

Theoretically it is possible to get a COC for a custom build, but you will have to go through an extensive homologation procedure, that will take a lot of time and even more money. And you'll have to pray they don't require a crashtest...
Kitcars are usually registered either as an oldtimer (old beetle chassis for example) or with the help of the kit car company, often via UK or Germany.

I wondered for 6X6 as I have not seen a single one in Belgium in my almost 3yrs here!!

So there is a good chance of getting a DAKAR built and on the road over here as it is basically a Discovery or a RRC donor vehicle to begin with?

If the dakar is built on a RRC or disco chassis it wont be eassy to do the chassis are post '67. If you built the dakar on a series2 chassis it will be ok they are pre '67 even a 6x6 is ok then. Because there is no confirmation for those vehicles

Gonna try for a single vehicle assessment type thing in a years time, I am told that as long as the chassis is not altered between the wheels it could get through, the plan would be for a Defender so body type should not be an issue as it would be a pick up.

How the rules are strange in our little county of the EU
