Not sure what your getting at,if you think its easier to get a car aproved over here and then registered or use it in Holland i think you will find
they got that one covered.
Let us know anyway.

That's exactly what i want, and it's done before (many times exactly).
to get a registration for holland for 'home-build' cars is impossible. So we have to get an UK registration through the SVA, according the EC rules
a registration in the UK is as good as one in holland so the dutch registration office must give a dutch license when the car gets imported.
My only question is how to get a UK SVA test for my car(or cars if i build more) ?

Not difficult,build it,book the test bring it over ,once through the test wait for the reg details to arive,at least thats what i did,you need an
"sva manual"contains ALL you need to know,there is one on the web somewhere or buy it from our DVLA,i can find the address if you want,feel free
just ask questions,every one is helpfull if a bit mad
hope this helps and good luck.

Okay, I know all that.
What I don't know is if it's possible to book an SVA test if your not a UK resident.
Do I need to provide a UK address for the test ?
What papers do i need to 'prove' the donor car is from 1988 to get an age related plate ?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi paul
To get an age related plate the original UK log book is required.
This is the registered keepers document containing the sierra chassis number,engine number and date first registered.
If your sierra donor is from outside the UK you should still have some form of document declaring the age.
Have a look at the vehicle inspectorate website,as more information there could help.

I hope this will be of some help

Hi Paul
I live in Portugal and have the same problem.
However there is a guy in Holland, named Erwin dekkers who built a 7-like of his own and got it licensed; why don't you ask him how? And let us know
afterwards.
