IVA Cost and Classes
Omni - 29/4/09 at 10:35 AM

Hi All,

I found this costs

But what class are our vehicles 'cos I can't find the answer. Will our cars cost £199 or £450?

Cheers,

O

Ok found out a bit more. A car is class M so that should mean that the IA test is £199

Am I correct? Has anyone been through the IVA as yet?

Cheers,

O

they are M1 yes, but not class M, they are class A which I think is for amateur built which is £450.

This went round a few weeks ago.

Its been covered in Kit Car magazines over the last few months. Kit cars cost £450 to put through the new IVA.

OH FARK! What about a Modded Mini

Where is a list of Classes? I spoke with VOSA and they said it was a car so £199. Grrrrrrrrrr

I thought that if you haven't altered the chassis you don't have to put it through IVA.

I remember chatting to a few guys who made the old porche roadsters that use a shortened beatle chassis. I can't recall any that put them through SVA. Just sent the V5 off as different body work.

As soon as you start moving from FWD to RWD you need an SVA(IVA).

In theory, so should the shortened beetle-based kits....

That would be a modified chassis

It depends how legal you want you car/insurance to be, you could just finish the mini and get it taxed, mot'd and insured....the problems will start if you have an accident though, incorrectly registered car = invalidated insurance = you get screwed over big time! Depends how much of a gambler you are, £450 guaranteed, or free with the chance for it to rise to thousands....

I understood it to be unmodified chassis therefore shortened vw beetle beach buggy / porshe would require SVA/IVA but sure mr whippy can clarify
