Good morning.
I have just read a post on the Austin Seven Facebook page to the effect that under the new DVLA rules, you can build a special if the V5c says "tourer", but not if it says "saloon".
Can anyone clarify this at all? As the shell on my Ruby is so badly decayed, I plan to convert it to what is, in essence, a two seat Opal with a fold-down roof which is permanently attached to the car at the hinges. I shall be using as much of the original shell as I can salvage. The logbook currently says "saloon", but with no mention of the number of seats.
I suppose my question is what are Opals and the like called on their logbooks: tourers, saloons, or something else altogether?
Regards,
Jamie.
