    For the European market, the road compliant conversion will be handled by Brabham Automotive ahead of registration and the revised automobiles will be put through the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) and IVA (Individual Vehicle Approval) tests. These examinations will ensure that all regulatory and legal standards have been met in order to see the car on open road.

    Furthermore, as one might well have expected, there would be numerous specifications made in order to make the BT62 more comfortable and usable on the road. These include raising the ride height with a front and rear axle lift kit, increasing the steering lock range, adding air conditioning, fitting door locks and immobilizers, installing high-quality upholstery for the interior.
