I read somewhere that with the SVA test you have to prove that you own ( bought ) the parts you incorpeated in your car. Problem now is, that I have an engine and gearbox (zetec and T9) without any reciepts what so ever. I can't prove that I didn't borrow them permanently.
Will this be a problem?
Might need to buy and scrap an escort and sierra again, but don't realy want to do so. I rather spend money on parts I will use instead buying and selling scrap.

next thing on the to do list: get a new sva manual

It's only a problem if you want an age related plate. If you are OK with a "Q" plate then they couldn't care less where the parts come from.

remember that a creative soul could easily make a receipt up for the 'company' that any part comes from, highly unlikely that they would check. Likewise for reconditioning work!

thanks for the reply confirmed my thoughts. But wouldn't want to get a nasty surprise, going for a test abroad and then needing to get paperwork made up. As do have a long drive of 6 hrs without trailer to Calais.

Darren at GTS sells donor parts, have a word with him regarding your "purchases"

the purchases aren't from darren engine and bits were bought overhere. picking the engine up tomorrow afternoon only 2.5 hrs drive oneway.

sorry rob but probably have borrowed your coloursceme, for my own car.

That's for registration, not sva. They check the construction and operation at sva. I took an envelope full of receipts to register the car and they never looked at them.

I remembered there was a reason for keeping/getting the reciepts.
only missing 1 big one at the moment., the shiny engine in the garage
