I've seen my name mentioned here, so I'd better pipe up.

There is a process, and there is extensive paperwork. I've got a car on the SEVS register, when I was planning on bringing my Dax Rush over under the SEVS scheme. The VIN on that register is the VIN on my race only vehicle, so no use to anyone.

The complexity with LVA is that both the Production Facility and the Design Facility have to be ISO-9001 certified (not too hard, hey Liam?).

You also need to provide the vehicle for inspection by the Department of Infrastructure, which has it's own requirements.

Finally, you need to be able to provide compliance with a couple of sticking point ADRs that you get exemptions for under VSB14 or state legislation. Emissions and 10/02 steering column come to mind (airbags anyone?).

Lots and lots of effort.

In a small aside, I was speaking to Peter G the other day, and he is no longer making the Porsche replica as he can no longer source the body - his supplier folded and so he ceased production. A beautiful car, and a great engineer too.
