Hi John,

I am still fighting with the DVLA over my car(coming up for nearly a year now). They are an absolute nightmare!! My experience would strongly recommend avoiding contact with the DVLA unless it is about routine stuff (i.e taxing or selling a vehicle).

Donnie has given you some wise advice in his last post but any doubt, the car is best avoided. No matter how attached or knowledge of the car you have. It will involve a virtual rebuild from scratch and deep pockets to get a pre-sva/iva car through the test and a gamble at best to persuade the DVLA to amend the documentation from my bitter experience.

Could I have a photo of the car showing the registration number so I can add it to the records?

Happy to discuss further if you require.
