This is a repeat of the reply added in the tips section started by Paul but I thought it would be good added here under a new heading.....

People may (or may not!) be interested to know that the SVA test scheme has now morphed into the IVA test scheme. :unsure: It is a very similar test and amateur built vehicles (classed in M1 category) are only required to meet the Basic test requirements, most of these tests are visual only.
I managed to do some digging and a copy of the 286 page ( :blink: ) test manual and all the requirements is free to download here

saving a few quid on buying an SVA manual. If they do remove it I have a copy saved too!! :D

An IVA information guide is here

Companies such as Blitzworld have SVA compliant buggies so there is little reason to believe that with a bit of thought a Fug could not go through the tests.
