My first kit was a Q plate, paid £4800 for it, sold it years later for £6000! I'm wondering if it's worth getting a warehouse, buying up all the Q plates and sitting on them until they make MOTing kits so hard they'll be worth a mint 😂😂

 

 

Get a bigger warehouse and you can add the dated registrations that have note 2 on their V5CW as well for all the people suspicious of q plates

I'm not sure how long you've been around kits @Kingster, probably longer than my 12 years I reckon, but I can clearly remember Q plates being talked of in derogatory ways and attracting lower prices,

About the same time, but to my knowledge the derision was only ever from those that were looking at kits for the first time. Those that knew about them were not in the slightest bit bothered about letters on a plate, unless they wanted to display something that (to them) looked cool. 
 

I actually fought with the DVLA to ensure I got a Q when I registered mine!

I know its listed on here too. Fab looking thing. Great spec but I know very little about those EcoBoost engines. Are they any good in a kit car? 

That’s a mate’s car and it us utterly gorgeous! Goes like a bat out of hell 😁

That's looking like an inspired move more and more these days!

It looks stunning. Great spec list too. If I didn't already have one I'd be extremely tempted by that.
