At long last...
Released today
MOT consultation Issue of defining historic interest is fudged in my opinion. Basically the 8 point rule as per DVLA rules on for registering radically altered vehicles with I think the modification that anything with a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame; is deemed to have less than 8 points...
Bear in mind, a fair few three wheelers are not on their original chassis as for a while, some dealers offered a service exchange. Same or similar would apply to other makes and models I guess.
I was going to do the reply before posting this, but had to bomb out as somehow, we need to tell the government how to their job... All of the 'options' are in some way unsatisfactory as with their preferred options, a 142 mph E type would be exempt. I really do not wish to meet one on the road!
Any bright ideas on how to define the issue of historic-interest for them?
Do please circulate this widely, we have till the 2nd November.
