I sent my SVA application off this week with some pictures of the build and I've received a letter called 'SVA Amateur Built Declaration'

Its asking for the receipts for the major items used during the build. Is this normal, I thought DVLA would want the receipts? Do I need to send the V5 from the donor??

Steve

it seems to vary but you apparently are not the first to be asked for this - do a search - maybe it is a new trend?.

All I did was fill out the SVA form.

Did MNR supply you all the receipts? if so send them copies.

I had to show the reciepts at the SVA, but didn't have to send them before. Just showed the donor V5 and the receipt from MK for the chassis kit

Cheers

I received that request yesterday, it seems reasonable to me as you only have to send copies of receipts and photos. You don't need to send the V5 off.

Yep

You now have to send pics and the receipts with the declaration

funny cos i had the same letter too this week!! it didnt occur to me and was waiting for a phone call to confirm a date. the problem i have now is that i dont have many receipts for all my major parts, im lacking ones for bodywork(gts!!) shocks and carbon fibre, and few others, also bought most parts from ebay and other places like stoneleigh. i have emailed gts but im still waiting a reply! (like usual)

I had the same problem, only a few receipts for minor components new coil, plugs etc.

However I did have a number of photos of the car being built.

I copied pictures onto three sheets in "word" and enclosed these along with a letter stating that I did not realise when I started my build that i would have to provide receipts.

VOSA contacted me regarding the max RPM I had put on the forms but made no mention of the lack of receipts and put my details forward.

I now have an SVA date for the end of May, could have had next week but unfortunately this was no good.
