Welcome to the forum Shaun! -or at least, welcome back. First step- make friends with Mr Olds & Mr Kapri. Several guys here have SVA'd trikes & although they're different vehicles, should be able to give you an insight into the workings of VOSA & DVLA. I put my own pick-up truck through, but that was the old commercial SVA test, which is no longer used. It's a bit daunting when you start out, (I've got a real phobia of any sort of test or exam), but take it one step at a time & it's still perfectly do-able. As Mr Olds says, making a detailed plan now to build within the regulations will save you having to alter a lot of parts later.

I think Dodger knows about IVA or at least MSVA and the DVLA A certain rear engined V8 trike and Darwin's theory springs to mind.

Shaun, the requirements for SVA and IVA are pretty much the same (put simply, SVA updated into EU directives plus a few little extras). If you know what you're doing with SVA on cars, you'll be fine. I've been doing this (SVA/IVA) since 2001. The name Chris Cocker rings a bell, was he a tester out of Mitcham and latterly Northam (also a DP station on Southamton docks). In which case I have worked with him, nice helpful guy.
