It's funny how things pass into folk 'law' (pun intended) so quickly. There were a couple in the Land Rover world, and in particular 'roof mounted spotlights' that people were convinced were illegal. They'd even made up a clause about 'only being allowed in front of the front axle'. Even made it into print, in some of the landy mags. All a complete fabrication - no such law ever existed but many swore blind it was true.
When I had my Tomb Raider 90, I'm pretty sure that the sales literature said the the roof mounted spots are for off-road use only. So having roof mounted spots isn't illegal but using them on the road is.
(But, perhaps supporting the "folk law" comment, note that I said "pretty sure"
)
