Introducing the magazine style book:-
Before registration, Kit Cars are required to undergo a stringent Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test prior to being registered. In 2009 the test will be known as the Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) test, or Basic Individual Vehicle Approval (BIVA) test. The new test will be only slightly different. The differences are explained with great clarity and detail in an article by Nigel Dean which was vetted and approved by the technical people at VOSA who are overseeing the transition from single to individual vehicle testing. You can find Nigel's article in our June 08 edition.
Kit Cars & the Law - Sixth Edition
This 148 page magazine style book starts with a review of the kit car industry then gives advice to those who are contemplating building a kit car for the first time.
It goes on to explain what the Ministers Approval Certificate is, why it was introduced and how to apply for an SVA test.
There’s a useful Q&A session in which we answer the most common questions we receive from our readers concerning the SVA, vehicle registration, exemptions and the like.

The actual test requirements are listed along with a layman’s interpretation as to what they mean in practice. The related vehicle lighting regulations are also recorded and explained too.
The last part of the guide shows two cars going through the test. One of which is the Suffolk SS100; deliberately chosen because it’s probably the hardest kind of kit car to get through such a test.

Kit Cars & the Law - NEW Seventh Edition
|
| This new edition was published in 2008 and contains almost everything included in the sixth edition. Now with 236 pages it contains far more information. The most notable additions are a bunch of Single/Individual Vehicle Approval (SVA / BIVA) related Technical Tips from our Nigel Dean plus his information on dating engines (required to establish which emissions standard your car will be tested to).
We've also included a number of Readers Letters which raise SVA / IVA testing / registration concerns, along with our replies of course. Other new information concerns Paul Jepson, who'll do the IVA and registration paperwork for you (at a small cost), costing your kit car project, planning your kit car build and we show yet another kit car (this time a RAW Striker) going through the testing process.
