Malta has its own SVA scheme which I believe is very similar to the UK one.

Nice looking car.
If all your roads are like that, I'd consider a screen of some sort, or atleast a motorbike helmet!
Cheers,
James

Well done mate. I think you said yours was the first to go through SVA in Malta? hence the plate!
PS - you must have different rules from us re rear lighting distance from the edge?

Nice my friend. Hopefully one day I shall get out to Malta and have a close look. (but it won't be this year)

Thanks Guys, to answer some of your questions:
Yes that is the actual number plate
I had to pay approx 65stg for it extra
The lighting is just within limits (only 1mm!!) The SVA testers were quite ok with it.
Unfortunaltly we dont have too many great roads, in fact about 60% of them are like the ones in the photo, sometimes worse 
I need to find some lighter loaded springs, I have 220lb/inch in front and 180lb/inch rear. Some of the other roads are quite good.
If any of you are down here this summer give me or clutch_kick a call, we'd love to show some fellow locosters around. If you're coming
before summer check out www.islandcarclub.com for some events.
Otherwise its just 1/4mile racing on the weekends.
