I was told that a UK SVTA looks at the vehicle now and compares with the regulations now in force.
The MMC Type approval is old , rules have changed.
As the car has not changed the original European Type Approval is still valid.
This all seems very odd, does anyone know if I was being spun a yarn or given true facts?
Seems right to me, changes in TA requirements can't really be retrospective otherwise every time we increased our requirements for compliance we'd have to outlaw all the old cars on the road. But a vehicle submitted for approval would have to pass the requirements in force to obtain that approval.
