Do you need suspension to pass the IVA?

Hi all,

My thread, on the PPC forum, about the mini Se7en, I saw in Harrods, has got me thinking.
(http://www.ppcmag.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9818)

I quite like the idea of building a road legal tot rod, using the mini Cobra body, that's on eBay, but I was wondering, do I need to have suspension to pass the IVA?
Or, at the least, can I get away with just front, or rear suspension only, like a hardtail chopper?

Does anyone know?

Cheers Frank.

As far as I know the only vehicles exempt from suspension are agricultural ones,.. so you probably need suspension of some description.

In fact you'd probably want it with the state of our roads

A road legal Tot Rod
Well for a start the head lights would be to low as would the seat belt mounts.
I don't think it would be possible to pass one without making it look very weired.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'm going to look into this some more.

I just like the idea of having a tot rod, that you could have a cruise down the road in, it would never be used on the road properly, but it would be fun if it was road legal.
