Hi Brian,

Thanks for that clarification.

Reading the documents at both the DVLA and "Vehicle Certification Agency" it seems to me the SVA issue is a red herring. SVA is a low volume alternative to Type Approval but the rules for both SVA and Type Approval are the same (that's a first!) Surely the vehicle will have to be submitted for one or the other, which one doesn't matter.

So I guess that's it. MMC want to avoid having it approved under car C&U regs for taxation reasons.
