The Oxford Limo used in the Borrowers is now on eBay. Looks like it was a bit of a bodge up for the film and now someones spent a fortune on it....

Any stretching is also going to mean an automatic SVA test required.
I have been told by VOSA That my trav will only require a standard M.O.T.
VOSA just test them.
DVLA are the people who will require the SVA test.

The vehicle must score eight or more points to retain the original registration mark. If less than eight points are scored or a second-hand or modified chassis or
altered monocoque bodyshell is used, an enhanced single vehicle approval (ESVA), single vehicle approval (SVA) or motorcycle single vehicle approval (MSVA) certificate will be required to register the vehicle. A 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated.
Scoring components
The following values will be allocated to the major components used:
chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points
suspension = 2 points
axles = 2 points
transmission = 2 points
steering assembly = 2 points
engine = 1 point
6 wheeled Traveller with Ford engine, gearbox etc will struggle to retain original registration / tax exemption according to the rules.

Wasn't there one in the Austin Powers film, too? I think I remember seeing it at the big LCV rally a few years back.
Hate seeing car ads on ebay without an under-the-bonnet shot.
