Could PC do this too, as the more the merrier!brickie501 on Practical Performance Car Magazine forum wrote:This hasn't appeared here before for which I apologise 'because the deadline' is today.
Sorry to have to contradict TerryG and others but this is very much a threat to the modification of cars, partiuclarly historic.
It would appear this segment from a post on the Land Rover Addict website shows the DfT's consultation on the subject:
•
120809 RWP request for information V2.d ... %2BV2.doc"
•
120809 RWP feedback form V1a.xls="http: ... 2BV1a.xls"
The key bits of the DfT's interpretation are:
"The Commission proposes to introduce a definition for a roadworthiness test that components of the vehicle must comply with characteristics at the time of first registration. This may prevent most modifications to vehicles without further approval of the vehicle. (this will apply to many components and to all types of vehicle)"
"The Commission proposes to change the definition of an Historic Vehicle that may be exempt from periodic testing. This may allow vehicles older than 30 years to be exempt from testing providing the vehicle has been maintained in its original condition, including its appearance."
{my bold}
So, as others have said:
- (if UK is allowed to maintain it) IVA for any modification not within the characteristics at the time of first registration
- No free tax disk if car modified in any way
This 'consultation' does not seek individual views, only 'consolidated responses' from interested parties.
Could PPC submit a response today? (including readership).
I'd happily draft something if given authority to do so but there are probably better folk...
