SVA is the process used in the UK, and will not be applied in Finland. You will need to register your Locost using Finland's registration process.

Good luck

Dom.

or sva it here and import it

Although if you do the SVA in england you may have tax issues when you import it. If you get a really old lotus its cheap (like 20+ years)

i mean that if you can send me the uk regiser methods then i can apply it in here.... mostly l am intrested the frame and chase tests and mechanics tests..

KozzyVizzy - 10/8/07 at 10:27 AM

the most problem in finland is that nobody knows how to test the chaisis and frame and mechanics..

and they dont know what are the requirement for this car type

How do they test self built cars then? Or isn't it allowed to build one off specials?

KozzyVizzy - 10/8/07 at 02:13 PM

i have called to ake and they sayd that the car is have to full all pollution and security criteries.... and the frame have to bee typed in finland

Fatgadget - 10/8/07 at 02:36 PM

Does that then mean you can't import or build a replica of an original sidevalve powered Lotus 7 for example? I doubt very much one of those would pass structural let alone emissions tests anywhere on this planet these days!

except you have to contend with the tax implications of importing a car into finland - hence my comment about needing to find an old tax exempt car.

Now there's an European law which says that a car which is registered in an European country, can be registered in any other European country.


That law doesnīt apply in sweden if itīs a amatuer built car (thats what theyīre called here). Not even if you buy a factory built Ultima or Caterham is it possible to import it to sweden and drive it here.
One exception is if you have lived in u.k for at least 1 year and owned the car continuously during that time, only then you can take it back to sweden when your moving home.

I suspect itīs the same in finland

What's the use of European laws if each country uses its own laws.
Normally spoken an European law should apply to every European country.
For which sake is there an European parlement?

Jonte - 10/8/07 at 07:51 PM

In this case a car must be crash tested and have a Certificate of Conformity (CoC)

And what I understood it wasnīt easy for builders in Belgium to register a car.
So what happened to your post?

fideel109 - 10/8/07 at 07:56 PM

I ask myself the same question, it's gone...

Like I said before (???) to register a self build car in Belgium, we've to do SVA and register it in the UK and then import it back to Belgium.
And the we start all over again, SVA in Belgium.
