Just a vicious rumour, but my Pug is in the doctors having extorsionate amounts of work done.

The guy is a Mini specialist and MOT station and a mate. He has been warned that in 2008 new legislaton states that any post manufacturer mods (including wheels and tyres, in fact anything) will require the vehicle to undergo an SVA test.
This will include any mods made to any vehicle post SVA or manufacture and the vehicle would require another SVA.
The SVA is to include a different type of paperwork and photographic proof the vehicle is as. This would have to be produced for MOT, Tax and Insurance.
He modifies minis to every kind of concept and is worried, as even fitting a simple change of wheels or a wing mirror to bullet style is going to come into effect with this ruling.
As we know it took several years for the Sva to stretch it's legs and the MOTs to become computerised, but they are here and the proposed legislation would only take a couple of months to implement now everything is computorised.
The only vehicles that will not come into this money grabbing scheme are pre-sva cars and vehicles manufactured pre-2000. The reasoning is that post 2000 all parts can be returned to their original status and remain as so.


ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT ?????????
IT'S COMING AND THE ACCESSORY / AFTER MARKET TRADE WILL DIE. BYE BYE HALFORDS.
