What if certain parts of the “prohibited” systems cannot be sourced in Canada, but are absolutely essential to the uniqueness of the kit?
A. Transport Canada believes that if a kit is really designed, and is actually being used, as a starter kit to amateur build a car in Canada, such parts would not be absolutely essential. However, some kits are very basic. They may only contain a bare body shell with a windshield, some door hinges and latches, and a bare frame. In these very basic kits that are far from the definition of “vehicle” there may sometimes be room for such items as a particular suspension piece or a fuel cell.
