Spoke with a representative at VOSA today to seek clarification, he said that although the SVA test would end in March 2009 the requirments for passing my 'Roadster' would remain the same under the new scheme. Having said that, this information contradicts related material on the web so I would urge you to make your own enquiries going forward.

My Personal views as i see things.
______________________________________

Whilst it is certainly true. SVA test is due to be replaced by the IVA Early next year. I dont think we need to worry just yet.

Having read a few of the related articles, it would seem that a lot of work has still to be done with reguard to the introduction of the IVA test.

VOSA & the department of Transport are working to finalise the exact details for the format of the new test.

The Kit car industry in the UK is quite large. There is no way we are likely to see its demise in the near future.

From what i have read. The medium to large producers of kit cars have more to fear than us individuals.


I for one, will not abandon my build just yet.

Yes, there may be a few minor changes to the standards required but i am sure we will be able to adopt them.

I'm sure we will all adapt, after all we did it when the sva test came in. As a matter of interest I wonder which EU country has the hardest test, the most expensive and the hardest to register

I say EU because we are supposed to be harmonised :-)

Found this thread which may be of interest and should ease a few concerns over the SVA loss.

Is anyone a member of the Cobra forum, 'cos you can download the zip file in the thread if you're not.

It would be useful to post it here.

Err I have the file how do I attach it to the post

Found it in advanced but will not let me attach a zip file and the doc is too big to attach

I have changed the extension from .zip to .pdf just so I can attach. THIS IS NOT A PDF file, rename it to .zip once you have downloaded it. So when you click on it save rather than open

Hmm there's a problem there, the forum doesn't take zip files.

Could you make it into a pdf or word document?

if so click reply and scroll down to "manage attachments" and choose the file type and the file from your computer.

cheers

Save the link to your own PC and rename it with the "Zip" Extension Ie save as "IVA.zip" then you can open it OK
