Hi Simon,
A number of club members have now put their cars successfully through the SVA test and one such member, Ian Goodwill has written up the experience / process in the latest club magazine.

Simon,
I have put my car successfully through SVA last year. There are some more difficult issues than those you mention which are not a problem and depend on the make of car you are building - it's big subject but by using common sense is relatively straightforward and should not put you off.
I did an article for the GT40 Enthusiasts club in the last but one issue. If you wish to join the club please contact Chris Edwards by e-mail at '[email protected]'. I am sure he can get you a copy of the article.
Regards
David

Simon,
It's great news that more 40's are going thru SVA, proving it's not impossible & getting more 40's on the road.
Have you considered that you can skip the necessity for an SVA by buying a car already registered & re-building it to your own spec?
It's by far the most cost-effective way into building, owning & driving a 40. Current s/h values are low, especially when compared to the cost of building a car from scratch.
When I was doing my sums prior to ownership, I found you can buy a basic spec used GTD (302, renault 'box, leather, air-con, etc) for about the same price as a new rolling chassis. It's a long & expensive road from a rolling chassis to a complete car!

Hi Simon, I have put many cars through SVA. I have a help guide for that process. So of the test is new to me, though there are ways to get around most of the problems. If you need further help, please e mail me directly on [email protected]
I have been supplying parts and services for the GTD owners for 16 years. I now run MDA which is a dedicated GT40 parts and technical service business. I offer parts, upgrades, Body chassis packages and advice.
my new website is coming hopefully at the weekend at www.gt40uk.com
If you are thinking of building a GT40 and want further help and advice contact me on [email protected] and i can give you our contact details.
All the very best
