Cheers Jim,

Good point.  I have forgotten it was as late as 1998 SVA came in.  Both kits I 
built myself were early 2000’s and SVA’ed.  My Coupe (which I did not build) 
has a single 1986 age.  On the tax free issue, you get road tax online. And you 
have to apply for it as usual but pay nothing.  So I sort of assume that if the 
reg date is 40 year or more ago you pay nothing with no human intervention?  

Interestingly my chassis number is a long format one but I was allowed to rivet 
a pre-stamped plate on the 2+2 frame and another on the fibreglass body.  That 
was Aberdeen in 2001.  My Blackjack Avion number came moulded into the 
fibreglass body tub.  That was 2004.

Derek
