Will the Law be an Ass?




Your vehicle must meet the Road Vehicle (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (as amended) if you use it on the road.

Type approval if using new parts

If your vehicle includes new components, it won’t get an age-related registration number. You’ll need to gettype approval.



The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs is similarly unimpressed by the proposed EU legislation. "We reject the suggestion that roadworthiness testing should relate to a vehicle’s ‘technical characteristics’, whatever the age of the vehicle," said a spokesperson.
"Modifications, alterations and improvements are all part of the history of the motor vehicles and the older the vehicle, the more likely it has been altered at some stage."
