Poo, just £6k short.
That is one spankingly good car! Good luck with the sale mate.

How did it go with sva with head lights that low....not having pop cos i love stuff like that...just wanted to know as didnt really want to conform
with my daft creation if sneaky way round it.
I know there are ways to "cheat" with other stuff but thought sva bods bit tight on headlight heights etc?.
I remember a few years back watching a blue one at donnington....spinning coming onto start straight then bopped the armco..I was stood right in front
of the meshy stuff and made I jump a tad...nobody hurt so had a smile to myself thinking...bet that bloke could do with a wash now.....Mr Ison i
think but not sure?

It had a different front on which conformed with SVA requirements. It did not stay on as it had been damaged while taking the kit home.

I know you need a TUV certificate. Every 2 years you have a TUV/MOT. To pass a car the car should be 100% stock. Every modification, even little ones,
must be TUV approved. Which means a TUV certificate. Even something as small as a sideskirt or loweringsprings.
http://luotain.uku.fi/~laasanen/tuv_kamei.jpg
This is the only good example I could find on google. I've had one in my hands some time ago with Bilstein coil-overs and it's pretty
detailed. Not only dimensions, but also all the digits on the products etc.
With a kitcar you don't have TUV approval since it's not a mass produced car with a licence/type approval. It's never been sold in
Germany so no TUV. For import the entire car must be TUV approved by an engineer from TUV. This is not as simple as a SVA. The TUV guy basicly makes a
TUV certificate for the car and you can see how detailed that is.
He is an engineer so it's not just no sharp edges, but what is it build from? Howmuch stress can the wishbones take? How strong is the design of
the wishbones? Got any calculations and blueprints? Is it properly welded and mounted? For example if the rear wing is bolted to only the fibreglass
then it's not secure enough.
Safety and properly made and mounted parts are key. You also need to prove it to him. He did not build it so he doesn't know how and with what
the kitcar has been build with. I know getting a BEC on German plates is virtually impossible. Westfield here in Holland tried it, but the TUV guys
only wanted to approve the XTR with the Audi engine. They don't find a bike engine build into a car to be safe enough. It hasn't
scientifically been tested so they are a bit scared of it looking at responsibility. TUV approved and not good afterwards means TUV is responsible for
any damage.
Even http://www.roadrazer.com/ tryed to TUV it, but don't seem to have succeeded. I called them maybe 1-2 years back and they were talking with
the TUV to get it approved, but so far I don't see succes. Getting a BEC on German plates is possible, but the only one I saw was a Radical SR3.
The best bet you have is to call Radical (probably Radical Germany) and ask them how they did it.
I might be able to help with the transport to a TUV centre so you can try and have it checked. I have no idea what the total costs would be to get it
approved. The buyer should be able to phone TUV for the extra info.
