gixermark - 17/12/10 at 10:30 PM

Hi Guys,

If a car was SVA'd with certificate etc ~ 5 years ago but not registered.... with the IVA in place now - would the car now have to go through an IVA to get it registered ?

if not - what woudl be needed to get it registered using the old SVA certificate ?

thanks in advance....

There's was a time limit to get it registered after SVA (6months?). It'll have to go through IVA now.

IVA I believe as there is a time limit from test to registering as I understand it

thanks gents.... enough to steer me away (2nd hand car)

if the car passed SVA, and hasn;t been altered surely there shouldn;t be much to change to get through IVA?, just the cost of the test which could possibly be negotiated off the asking price ?

I'd agree with that. Big changes are reduced noise and reverse required. The rest is fairly small changes.

I can't undertsand why someone would spend all that time building a car, put it through SVA, get a certificate and then not bother registering it. All that hard work only to fall just before the finishing line.

I know what you mean but for some loss of job, workshop ,accident , illness or berievement etc forces them to sell.

was done to suit a race series - not relaly required.... but done to prove a point, so the guy didn't see the need to spend the extra ££ registering it - as it intention for the car was race only...

its been modified, developed, and some of the IVA type stuff will have been removed, modified etc - no doubt you could go through it all and do it if you have the right attitude/patience, but I'd fail on that !!
