I bought my MK as a part built, 11 years ago, way before the requirement for receipts came into the equation.
When this became a requirement I went back to the person I got it from, and he made me out a receipt detailing every single thing that I paid for. I haven't kept receipts for many of the parts I purchased before 2007, but Microsoft Word/Excel is a wonderful thing
Couldn't you either go back to whoever you got yours from, or "sell" it to a friend and "buy" it back with a full inventory on a receipt?

That doesnt sound right, if they are unhappy with the cars origins then it gets a Q plate. Who are vosa to deny home built cars registration based on your name not being on a receipt?


ask to speak to someone else, or ring another vosa office

thats ok but what happens if they question it when we go to apply again
i asked him what does it matter how many ppl were involved in the build process as long as it passes the iva test and he didnt have an answer

Sell to a mate and buy them back with separate receipts or just make them up and go to another vosa center.

Simples

Hope you get sorted mate

Where's the requirement for receipts for everything documented? I have bought a part-built chassis, and a donor from e-Bay in a private sale, so need to know if I need to start 'filling in gaps' in paperwork...!

My experience of VOSA has been good, the DVLA is a different matter. Might be worth speaking to someone else at VOSA..

apparently they are no longer to allow kits that have not been built from scratch by the person applying for the iva test !!! which is going to kill the market for part build kits

Hmmm.... Sounds like a load of rubbish to me. Define 'built from scratch'... Do you need to quarry the iron ore for the steel yourself?

Yeah, my point is that how do you define 'starting the build'... I was being a bit facetious... But taken to it's logical extension - a 'kit' is part built - i.e. someone else has welded the chassis together, etc...

You've had me worrying - but here's something to throw back at them (hopefully)...

When you apply for IVA you have to also submit an amateur build declaration (at least the current info on Business Link suggests this - hopefully it's not out of date).

On this form (http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/Transport_files/119_IVA_Amateur_Built_Declaration1010.doc)
one of the options to be ticked is "The vehicle was partially built by an individual... ... and I purchased the vehicle and completed the assembly of the vehicle..."

How can it not be an allowable way to have built a car if it is there on the form as an option??!!!

because they have changed it without altering the forms or telling anyone about it ... trust me i asked in (a rather loud voice )

This sounds like one dickheads interpretation here, if for example MK supply me a chassis, I didnt build it , they did...so no IVA ?



This still doesnt sound right.

The Amateur Built declaration itself says that it is based on the following legislation
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/717/made

If that legislation hasn't been changed (and seen as it was passed in 2009 I'd suggest it fairly unlikely AND would certainly have been something that kit car builders would have been jumping up and down about) then VOSA can't just 'change the rules'...

Agree - it sounds like you've just come up against an awkward person...

In fact - here's the specific bit (i've bolded for clarity):

A vehicle is an amateur built vehicle if—

(a)the vehicle was—
(i)constructed or assembled
or
(ii)having previously been registered under the 1994 Act, structurally modified,
for the personal use of a person (R) who is a relevant individual, and
(b)the whole, or a substantial part, of the construction, assembly or modification was carried out—
(i)by R,

(ii)by one or more relevant individuals acting on behalf, and under the direction, of R, or
(iii)by R and one or more relevant individuals acting on behalf, and under the direction, of R.

It doesn't say it has to solely be built by the person presenting it for IVA. It just says a 'substantial part' of the work has to be carried out by the person who is the intended user... And, although I haven't bolded it, line (ii) even says you can ask someone else to do all that work on your behalf!!!

I know it was years ago and SVA at the time but I didn't need to show any receipts for the test, only when it came to registering the car and then they only gave the envelope full of receipts a cursory glance.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Can only suggest appealing the refusal, the case would then have to be looked at and the reason for refusal compared against the letter of the IVA regulation.
Even if the car was built at a factory it's acceptable so long as you have a reciept to show you requested the work and you are not in the car building business.
How do kit car companies like Westfield and Caterham get turn key cars through the IVA?





Never under estimate the ingenuity of an idiot!

They don't need to, the way they sell complete cars is using small series type approval

http://www.dft.gov.uk/vca/vehicletype/national-small-series.asp

Simplifying they do an extra hard IVA test on a specfic model (say R500) and then in return for promising to build them all exactly the same they get a big book of pre-passed MAC forms up to a maximum number per year.
