Well......... Chassis number arrived today........ SVA 1 in the post with 16 photos (showing the major milestones), 10 odd receipts (again for the major parts; chassis, engine, exhaust, gearbox, prop shaft) and an amateur build declaration.... oh and 190 whole pounds.

Will have to see if its accepted and processed in time and will have to see if I get offered a reasonable date.

Guess its been a long time coming. Been building the car on and off for around 6 years now.......

Finger's crossed for you.
It's suprising how many of us think we are in for a couple of years build but have ended up 4, 5 (mine) or even 6 years+ on it.
Only thing I can say is it is so worthwhile.
Did the first track-day at Goodwood on Sat and it's opened up a whole different dimension.
Cheers, Pewe

Did u sign the reciepts?


Findlay234 - 16/3/09 at 09:19 PM

Yep signed the receipts as certified copies and wrote some details on the photos describing what was in them and the stages I was at etc. Tried to cover all bases!!!

I only sent copies of a few receipts (chassis, donor, lights) and pics of the bare chassis and near-complete car and they accepted that.
