Hello and welcome along!
It looked like a good purchase! I would recommend you reading this topic here: http://www.muddybuggies.com/forum/general-questions-f24/wagon-s-iva-experience-t2250.html?hilit=IVA
An IVA test costs £450 now-a-days, and £90 for every re-test :/ Pretty pricey!
I would also recommend skimming through the latest IVA manual online so you know all the new changes and requirements as i'm guessing that you've already been through an SVA with the Jago. IVA is much the same all bar a few things. Complete Kit Car magazine did a "Survival Pack" which covers the main new changes. I would recommend that for a bit more of a brief enlightenment.
Post as many questions up as you like, there's a real helpful crowd on here!

Cheers for the heads up,wow 450 quid think he's gonna be shocked at that,I dont think Jago's were around when the sva started and don't they have much hope of passing one today,as in my intro im still thinking of utilizing a jago chassis i have and building a buggy from it,will keep updating on both as we go along cheers

Welcome to the forum Edz, I'm just down the road North of Worksop, never put a buggy through IVA but done 4 through SVA, I would suggest going to Nottingham, they are a good couple of guys. I couls always pop over if you want me to take a look.

Cheers would'nt mind someone giving it a once over,altho ive seen em plenty times at different shows,not really had a close up,Is yours road legal then?One little niggle is the gearstick seems quite far forward,kinda stretching outa my seat to select 1/3 and reverse is a nightmare,ill start a thread elswhere with a few pics to get out of this ebay one cheers

 

[Phaeton]

Is yours road legal then?

Yes, this one has been on the road for 3 years now, we've just completed a 700 mile trip around North Wales, he's in the Owners Projects as Mr Bumble due to his Black & Yellow nature

One little niggle is the gearstick seems quite far forward,kinda stretching outa my seat to select 1/3 and reverse is a nightmare

That can easily be sorted with a hacksaw, a welder & an angle grinder.

after the donnington kitcar show(did'nt see any freestyles there)

Just re-read this, looks like we missed this, didn't think it was on this year, we were all down the road at Uttoxeter at a mini show.

Hi and welcome, I didn't think Donnington was on this year either.
Good luck with the project, even if it is not yours.
