You need an alarm for insurance not the SVA, you will probably need a Catagory 1 thatcham approved one to even have a hope of getting the car insured though. I recommend the Clifford Concept 600 as you can add all sort of bits to it such as remote engine start (for cold mornings and warm up times !) window closing when you set the alarm, anti hijack and other bits and pieces. Also RAC trackstar is a good tracker to have I believe.

You need some form of anti theft device, " a mechanical electrical or electronic immobiliser". Schedule 3, item 8.

Or you used to be able to put the car through as a disabled persons vehicle, you didn't need an immobiliser for that. You do now as the regs changed on 1st October.
