Surely the criteria for an MOT/roadworthiness certification should apply to any vehicle used on a public road? I imagine the insurers and lawyers would have a field day if a "historic" was involved in a (serious) incident and found to have significant faults?
Invalidated insurance, public liability claims etc..
I would imagine a slightly lesser risk at car events too, even if on private land or track?
I would be interested in the reaction when a historic does get involved and be found to have faults. I reckon politicians/officials trying to claim that a consultation occured as a cop-out, "not our fault for poor legislation".
Perhaps there are lawyers lurking/lobbying to push things through to create opportunities?
