that.

IVA = Road worthness
DVLA = Identity check.

Slight question. I bought my zetec from a breaker and the receipt just says 'focus 2.0 litre zetec 2001 - 77,000 miles." It doesn't
have the engine number on it. Will this cause a problem come registration time?

Not if it has the engine number on it at registration time.

Ah, so the receipt now has the engine number written on it! Must have been looking at the wrong place.

It's easily done. I couldn't even find some of my receipts, but someone suggested that if I looked in Microsoft Word on the PC I would
find them. All you have to do to find them is type in all the details you need on the receipt and then press the 'print' button, the lost
receipts then re-appear.
Works a treat!

No one checked mine. I just showed all the receipts(Tongue in cheek) and they gave me a new plate. Thank you very much

I assume you still need the DVLA inspection for a 'Q'-plate? (which is what I will be getting)

Mine's on a Q and I was told DVLA dont inspect any more They just gave me my tax disc and authorisation to purchase numberplates, coz you need
log book for plates and that was to follow after being printed at Swansea.
This was all Feb 2011

Correct.
Just a check of chassis and engine number both for the actual numbers being present and correct and a look at reciepts. They saw the size and
disorganised nature of my file and opted not to look through, altough they'd had the major parts reciepts with the V55. Also I think the chat
that goes on during this is checking out that you are a genuine amature builder and not someone building for profit. Practice varies from office to
office; Some do thier own, some have the police come out and do it and some accept VOSAs word for it.

I took mine, she looked at the engine number, chassis number commented on how nice it was (it was brand new after all).
I showed all the major receipts and she gave me a new plate... I had a number on retention so she applied that, gave me the tax and I was on the
road... for 4 weeks...

Thanks all very helpful. I certainly found some on word and also my file is very unorganised. Haha all major receipts were with v55 though.
Only a week to go and should be on the road!! Can't wait.
Kind Regards
