SVA: Acceptable Proof of Engine Age?

[KevinW]

SVA coming up next week.
I've printed out a webpage from the Jensen Owners club on RV8 engine numbers and age. Is this acceptable proof of age for RV8s?

My test is at Gillingham if it makes any difference.

cheers,
Kevin

Get an 'engine supplier' to type you a letter or receipt stating '1972 (or whatever) Rover V8 engine serial number blah blah supplied reconditioned' that should cover it.

if you contact the motor heritage centre at Gayden give them your engine number. they have access to the Rover archives and for a £10 (I think) they will send you a letter by return of post. I used this at Southampton and it was fine

I used 2 different website print outs and also took a Ford manual along with me for the V8. This was acceptable as I explained the engine dating to the SVA inspector in Glasgow.

thanks, they're now printed!
I have also sent off for a Rimmer Bros SD1 catalogue which also has the engine numbers inside. Fingers crossed it will arrive in time!

Just been through the SVA, and the tester was happy with a print out from Rimmer's catologue from their website; didn't even specify the date, just the age range for the RV8 on my block number - think I got lucky, but web print out seemed to be OK.

Yep I had 2-3 web site print outs - seemd acceptable, although I also had the rimmer bros catalogue. thi was copied and pinned up, so gillingham probably now have a reference for SD1 RV8 engines!
