You have been away, in the meantime IVA has replaced SVA and is more stringent and more expensive. However, if you download the IVA manual you can see
where the pitfalls might be, light position, seatbelt anchor point, seats need a headrest, fog lamp circuit, internal and external body radii,
emission etc. But it is Westfield so a call to them with model and year should give you some pointers.
Good luck and welcome back.

Welcome back - out of interest what was the 996 trouble? Been reading about these but kinda scared off by stories of engine issues particularly IMS
bearing and worn liners.

You mentioned a Westfield 'Racecar' ?
If you want a Westfield and plan to use it on the road make sure it has a road chassis and not a race chassis...
