SVA to road Legal?

What is the shortest time from SVA pass to road tax and number plates???

I know some have had nightmares and others have done it quickly but what is the fastest time and who has done it......

I did mine the day after the SVA pass but I could have done it the same day if the weather was better. I wanted to get home to thaw out!

As long as it took to get from Chadderton SVA station to Leeds DVLA office[1]

[1] Done in suprisingly good time once we realised the wheels weren't going to fall off

Probably 2 hours or so, DVLA were on the ball too, we were only in there 20mins.

1st Indy was 2 weeks

2nd Indy was less than a week i think.

I did hear of a few people doing it all the same day but that was years ago, prob a bit more difficult now. It's better if you can get the car inspected by the DVLA before SVA.

Passed SVA at about 10.30 in Norwich drove down to Ipswich DVLA office where I had made an appointment for the vehicle check and number issued about 20 mins later. Thats back in 2002.
