Cheers Mike. Hopefully won't need it.
Yeah, the screen was cut locally to our cardboard template. It's laminated, but not marked to BIVA standards. Fortunately it doesn't have to be for the SVA test or MOT.

Would've loved to drive it to the Monkey meet at the Basingstoke transport festival in a couple of weeks time, but we won't get the MOT done, let alone the paperwork by then. On the road for the Summer though. Can't wait.

Andy. Congrats om the pass!!!! top news. You don't need an MOT for three years if the log book states "new at first registration" on it, and it will if it's a "Q" plate. Iain |

Yeah, apparently the interpretation of that varies from office to office Ian.
General consensus seems to be that if it's all new components you don't need an MOT -they allow you one major old component, (the engine/gearbox for example).
If it's all used components you need one -ours is almost all second hand parts, some up to 60 years old. We've literally built a fully functioning vehicle from a pile of scrap metal.
I don't want to turn up at the DVLA office with the truck on a trailer, ready for them to check the paperwork against it, & be told we need an MOT. Plus, having built it ourselves, I'd like a professional mechanic to check it over anyway. There's a lot of parts that weren't checked in the SVA test that are in the MOT -steering, suspension, lights, glass, wipers, sharp edges on bodywork, seatbelts etc. For my own peace of mind I'd like to know they're up to standard. Also, any extra supporting paperwork should help to keep the paper shufflers happy.
