Anyone for an unfinished project?

I'm confused as to why he has linked to the Facebook page of the Rhianna beating rapper?

Also it looks a bit sharp and pointy to be road legal.

Only one question

IVA.

I would look elsewhere this will be a nightmare to get through IVA and no way it can be avoided IMO.

You could try the unaltered chassis approach but I think Vosa and the DVLA will have a fit as will the boys in blue.

Off road quicker than you can say IVA I suspect. Probably correctly from a safety viewpoint.

It looks a bit like a Vector W12 on steroids. Would be good to see the finished item as it looks ok to me. Unusual if nothing else.

IVA? Don't you mean SVA?

That looks fantastic, cosidering he built it himself, he should hand a CV to some sports car companies..

I like it £5.5k though, Id' be out if I wanted a road car, would still be interested if test drive shows track potential though.

IVA replaced the SVA. That thing will never pass it. Cool looking project though.

As hairykrisna says I meantIVA. SVA did disappear some time ago.

IMO this car will not pass IVA without a huge amount of work.

Building a dream is all very well but actually getting the vehicle through IVA can become a nightmare very easily.

Forty years of building kit cars has made me VERY aware of the pitfalls.

There are kits about that retain the original chassis such as the MEV X5 see

These offer a major saving in term of effort over IVA builds. Certainly worth a look.


I would avoid a pioneering IVA presentation on a non conforming car. Could be a real ball ache.
