If it is after 1992 yea, all 92 and pre u don't have to get it SVA'd.
SVA costs around 600 or so but prices can go through the roof if it does not pass the SVA.

Icy, what u do with them.. tell them how much u have to spend in TOTAL, then they tell u what kinda price u should be bidding for the actual car and then u look through the auctions everyday tuesday to friday and then select the few goodn's u like.. u tell them.. they use their mechanics to check the car over and give u full detail on car ie mods, scratches etc.. and then u deside if u want to bid or not and how much.
