Hints + Tips-
Get there early
Present the car well
Have all the documents available for inspection
Take a load of tie-wraps, spanner set etc etc as an emergency bodge kit
I still reckon the SVA testers decide within the first 10-20 mins if you're going to pass or at the very least how much they're going to
try and help you pass! If you turn up looking like an analy-retentive obsessive perfectionist with a love of thermos flasks they're probably
going to be less concerned about checking you've done up every nut properly than if you turn up in a scruffy car smelling of skunk and having
left something important like the steering wheel at home....
Warning- the above may contain traces of bullshit.

from whats been posted before on the site here you could drive it there as long as you have insurance,
no plates needed and perfectly legal

Hope it goes well Neil.
You should have no problems , it is a well put together car.I take it that you managed to get the speedo sorted and set up ?
It will be good to see you on the road.
