There's always 1 or 2 who will try and get around doing things legally.
If you do the kit and dont tell the insurance you've done it, it's fraud. If you're honest, they'll tell you it needs IVA-ing.
You'll notice on that thread most people agreed and said the builder was stupid to save a few hundred ££ on not testing it.
He'd get ripped a new one if he was in an accident and it wasn't tested and they found a lot of stuff wrong with it.
If I convert mine to being road legal, it will be IVA'd as I want someone to check over my work to make sure it's safe on the road not
just cobbled together

I don't see the point in avoiding BIVA apart from the fee. But when the car is properly tested and registered it is worth far more than it would
be with an MX5 V5. Of course it costs less to insure as a kit car than an MX5.
Exocet passes IVA with ease, most customer builds pass first time.
Issues like noise, emmisions, self centering, brake balance, switch labels, speedo calibration are all a gauranteed pass as they are all stock MX5, so
back to my point, why avoid IVA inspection and "assume" you built a safe car?
