£500 200mph speedo doesnt help a lot either......................

Steve at Jaz has already thought of a way to get round that outlay

Probably involves going to Harrow .............with my latest i was up for an SVA ................mileometer needs to be miles as well so if they spot it is nt, i am back to square one !

It used to be acceptable to overlay mph markings on a kph speedo. Has that changed?
Also, are you sure about the odometer/mileometer requirement? If so, that too would be a change.

If u take the overlay route it will pass the Mot cos that does nt count, if however u need a Single Vehicle Approval u need mileometer in miles and working , i last had to do this at Yeading 4 years ago [on another 993 GT2 ] well inside the 10 year limit then ................specifically checked ................Theres some DVLA explanatory leaflet on SVA s its on there i think ........

I may have this wrong, but in this case he'll be able to get a CoC from PCGB, and therefore would not need to get SVA inspection, right?

Woo hoo CoC has been ordered from PCGB, so will get that in the next few weeks. Then it's just a case of heading up to Stanmore DVLA witha good book

Cheers guys.

Any chance u can use Luton , last time i went to Stanmore was not a happy experience , i admit i dislike form filling etc and am not very good at it but Luton to my surprise are very very helpful ,they talk to u for a start and explain till u understand , when the actual date of manufacture was in question, as opposed to date of 1st reg and i found some extra proof to substansiate a registration for Jan and not wait till May [or go the SVA route] they listened on the phone and prduced a tax disc and reg within 12 hours of me popping up there..............
