Road legal status for home built car

[imoloq]

Hi guys,

Let's say I wana build a car based off Caterham 7 or Ariel Atom, how would I get it road legal the easy way? Plans are completely home made, not official plans from Caterham or Ariel.

I know the hard way to get it road legal, which involves submitting lots of documents to various gov departments and would take months. Any easy way for a one-off model to get some legal exemption?

I don't think it is easy, your car must go thru quality checks like SIRIM, safety checks and everything.. But I dont think our JPJ will approve any home-built cars.. BUT you can still drive it on tracks.. right?

Yeah but driving it on the roads is much more fun

Thanks for the input!

You'd probably need to crash test a few as well as part of process I suppose
