I do wish people would stop blaming the EU. Apart from any other thing the UK still has a vote in the EU Parliament and members in the Commission.

Vehicle passenger and pedestrian safety is a progressive thing. Most of these changes are not dissimilar to the Australian Design Rules compliant model. It is amazing to me that the M3W was able to be released in its original form as it is, without any doubt, a 3 wheeled car, not a 3 wheeled bike. Even without the EU UK regulators would sooner or later require a tightening up on many of these items. That big hot lump of metal out the front was always going to be a pedestrian hazard and and one can understand the reason for changes to the lighting positions.

The M3W is a very retro vehicle. Just think how many classic vehicles would be impossible to register today, under the rules of any country, for reasons of safety.
