This is on the same CAMHC site as us at the minute. Clearly home made and unlikely to have gone through the trailer IVA process hence won’t have any weight plate. Unladen weight guesses on a postcard! I bet it’s not far off 2000kgs…..

It looks as though it’s mounted on a proprietary chassis and that would have a statutory weight plate. Maybe the wooden structure on the chassis is demountable, in which case it would be considered as payload and then the combination of chassis and what‘s on it wouldn’t be subject to an IVA. That would be a clever way of getting around the regulations that apply to factory-built caravans.

It’s on an old caravan chassis and has no obvious weight plate. It’s creative but made entirely from 68 x 45mm timber and permanently bolted to the chassis. IVA is largely ignored by amateur car and trailer builders alike.

How can you register an amateur car that hasn't been IVA'd

Effectively ringing. It’s so prolific it’s almost “accepted”. Attended any hot rod show and you’ll see plenty of replicas wearing Ford Model Y and the like registrations.
