Do SVA's pass certificates expire?
Having recently passed SVA, I am considering leaving registering my Indy until after the winter. Does anybody know if a pass certificate has an
expiry date? VOSA say no, and DVLA say if no expiry date on certificate then no also. All sounds ok until I turn up next spring and find that I need
to register within a certain time. Does anyone have experience of this?

Why not just get it all over and done with now?
You might find the process quicker also as I imagine there's a rush in spring/summer from poeple trying to get their cars on the road for the
good weather (like me!)

With some of the problems others have had, it may take you until next spring to get it registered.
I had plates on the car 90 minutes after passing SVA, but I don't think this is the norm.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I would agree about getting it registered now to avoid hassle in Spring. If you don't want to use it now, is it possible to register it and put
it straight on SORN? I would have thought so, but you may have to trailer it home  . If they have already inspected it, no problem!
Having said all that, I got mine SVAd on 18 October last year and registered the day after, and I used it all though the winter.

I agree - took me over a month to get registered which in June was not good - half of Summer gone b4 I could get on the road, just get it done
& then declare SORN. Next Spring just get up & go!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

You may find that they won't let you just complete the registration and declare SORN, Brighton DVLA would'nt let me. I needed to have at
least 6 months road tax at the same time as the registration.
I guess you could cancel the road tax and declare SORN immediately after but that would incur an admin charge I believe.
