Minor Works

managed to split the thermostat-heater loop hose so replaced with silicone

Fitted exhaust wrap to help the under bonnet temperature

And fitted the speedometer button through the dash

Registration complete

Documents arrived from the DVLA today I'm now the owner of a 66 plate Westfield SEiW, went straight to Halfords and had two plates made up, phoned A-Plan Insurance and she's street legal!

DVLA Contact 01

Had a call from the DVLA today, confirming that they have received my application and needed the following additional information:

• Copy of a recent utility bill as proof of address (the DVLA website said that a photocopy of my driving licence was sufficient but obviously not!)
• From V267 - Declaration that a vehicle is new (again the website states this is required when importing a vehicle)

Emailed the above to kar@dvla.gsi.gov.uk

IVA Pass!

Whoop, whoop the lovely chap at the IVA test center has passed my car and given me a bright Individual Approval Certificate (IAC). I was at the test center for a whole 50 minutes!
Once again took a couple of sneaky photos at the test center - so don't tell anyone.

Then it was onto the registration process - three hours of paperwork later I've popped the following in the post to the DVLA:

• V55/4 Form
• Photo-copy of Driving Licence
• Cheque for first registration & 6 months road tax
• Individual Approval Certificate (IAC) 
• Certificate of Motor Insurance (against chassis number with place-holder registration)
• Built up vehicle report Form – V627/1
• Supporting Original Receipts / Invoices
• Westfield Sports Cars Starter Kit Price List (to demonstrate kit contents)
• Photos as evidence of self-build

The clock is now ticking to see if the registration comes back before the weather closes in.
