SAV refusal
I've just had a call about my sva application, they have said because most of the receipts are not in my name (I did not build the car) they
will not allow me put the car through the sva test, what can I do???

Isn't there an option on the form to say that the car was built (and Part built) by someone else?
Surely this is an easier and legal/more honest option?

yes the form does give that option to say it was part built by someone else. you might need photos from the point you got it and to prove it wasnt
from a "builder" and not an individual if you know what i mean.

Have you got pictures or photos during the build?? To be honest I'd ask which regulation they're following and offer to take it up with
VOSA headquarters. I've never heard of this ruling before and if they're making it up they'll soon give in....

I told them I done all the electrics but they have said for me to put the car through I would have had to have done the majority of the build, the
electrics was far short of majority of the build

Just been on the phone with the sva guys and they have said I need to prove it was built as a amateur build, if I can not prove this then I should
strip the car down and rebuild it myself taking photos and ensuring the receipts are in my name

So, do you have a receipt from the guy you bought the part-complete from?
If not is it possible that you contact him and get a receipt? In doing so, you could ask him for any photos...

Think I may have found why they do not think it was a amature build, It looks like some of the item were purchased through work (some of the receipts
say trade purchase)

I like many others can get trade discounts but that does not mean i am a professional builder or even work as a car mechanic for that matter only
interested in cars etc as a hobby like most of us .

If it can be done it i will be done .

I didn't have any receipts for my MNR. None. I SVAed without a problem. It was difficult to get a number plate at the DVLA inspection, as I
didn't have an engine number either.

I was hit with the same nonsense in April when I apllied for my SVA test, insufficent recipts to prove that I built it even though I stated that I had
bought the car part built. In the end I had to get a certified letter from the previous owner stating that he had built the car as a hobby and lost
interest and sold it on.
Informed them that I rebuilt the whole car for peace of mind and got my test date 1 week later. Dont panic the seem to be doing this quite a bit just
now.
The technical manager at DVLA that I spoke to was quite open about the fact that they were under pressure from above to clamp down on the ameutar
build status as far too many kit car companies are building the cars and SVA testing them for customers.
Chin and keep the pressure on them for a date.....

If you have pictures showing it was built in a normal, private garage rather than a workshop that should be adequate - you do not have to have
receipts, just be able to show it is an amateur build not built by proffesionals
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.

Ian,
Where are you. I'm sure a crowd could be gathered, and car stripped and rebuilt (with pics) in a day

If a company builds a car it is required to go through a more stringent test. As it was explained to me the SVA is there for people who have built
there cars themselves.
