Today is a milestone in the build process.

Mark at MDA has offered to present my car for SVA at Exeter while we take a break overseas. I am taking this opportunity to have him bond in the screen and rear window glass also gas up the A/C system.
Quite a number of MDA's have been through the local test center and passed, so hopefully they are familiar with the construction and components.

Filling in the application documents is a bit longwinded. I first downloaded the application form, however there is now a new one from July. This asks for the 'amateur built declaration' that can be downloaded from the VOSA site, trouble is you can't, its not there. Contacting the SVA section at VOSA ended with them emailing the document to me.
Then you need to enclose 'certified' copies of various documents , the invoice for the parts, certificate of newness etc. Just in case VOSA think the car has been built by a 'professional' you need to send some photographs showing the build progressing in your home garage.
You need to think like a civil servant, to fill and double check that you have all the parts or it will not be processed.

Here are some photos of the car loading into the trailer this morning.

The garage looks very empty!!
