thinking of getting my car SVA'd advice from someone in the know?

[ditz]

following on from reading this

(from edde)
Or else pay the £160 or so fee and get the car registered as a kit car as such then there no MOT for 3 years (since the car goes for SVA approval and is deemed as new as such due to the extent of the test shtye do on it) you can keep your old number plate as such if you have enough evidence the cars got enough old car bits as such etc. Not sure about road fund I guess its 172 level but least you cna have a kit car as such and no MOT for 3 years (MOT is what £40 so for missing 2 thats worth £80 of the fee plus you can decat and not need to swop/go see the forgetful MOT person wiggling emmisions probe



this seems my best option,, can anybody in the know let me know of downfalls of this and costs involved etc etc

Downfalls you need to make sure its legal so get a copy of the SVA manual plus the car undergoes a more throught check than normal so make sure its lefgal ie seat belt harness routing etc.

Also need to get it towed there

Thought you could drive to and from the SVA station, much like an MOT???

From what i have heard, SVA's are VERY strict!! But like MOT's it depends where you take it, a lad i know had a kit car and it took him 3 or 4 attempts to get it through!

Why is this in media??? oooopsie!
