    Who sells a cobra, which is 95% built ? And why ? I dont think its so easy to get IVA only after doing some little work. In Germany, some Cobras, partly built, are sold because they will never get the TÜV ( german IVA ?)

    Hi Chinaman, post up a name, nicer to talk to a person!

    What have you bought? A Mk3 what? There is plenty of advice on here but we need to know a bit more about what you have. Also if you give a bit more information on your location than UK, there are probably local club meets that you could nip along to and get some advice face to face.

    Lloyd, it's in the pilgrim section so I guess that's what it is. The question does remain though, why sell it if it only needs minor work to finish??

    You need to do a search online and read the latest version of the IVA manual. Also do a lot of reading on this and other forums (eg locostbuilders & RHOCAR ) re the IVA tests. At least you will know what you are trying to achieve at the test
