How Does This Work? Never Had An Iva But Driven On The Road?

[Guest Joe_burtenshaw]

Just seen this on ebay, hiw has he managed this obviously built by somone else but as stated in the text it's still registered as a Ford Sierra but has been mot'd and taxed. Also insured for years? How do you get an mot on somthing that is meant to be a Ford when it is clearly a hood? The item number is 131658580768. Thanks joe

That is a mark 3 monocoque car, made prior to the SVA & IVA probably. Some DVLA offices registered them as Sierra, but there was a point a few years ago that if you had one registered like this, you had to apply to the DVLA to have it changed to ROBIN HOOD 2 seater sports. You had to prove that it had been on the road prior to the SVA and you got a new log book.

It might now be a problem, they may require it to go through a IVA test. I would make a phone call to the DVLA before I bought it. (With details of the vehicle etc)

No doubt about it, if missed the amnesty period it is now illegal.

IVA now a must.
