I hear that all the rules are changing and that life is to become difficult. Is this just rubbish or am I really going to have problems with the new C type. Help! I need informed information please, no soporific comments. I received a call this afternoon about this and while I have done a brief google I'd like to hear from anyone who actually knows when and what this entails.

I tend to agree with the last comment. Building a replica of a car from years gone by and they require you to pass noise tests, emissions tests, headrests (for a sports car replica?) and then look at the "degree angle" of the rear lights, indicators (of course, we all had orange indicators in 1955), stop lights and rear lights. Frankly it seems that all old rebuilt cars are being lumped in with modern imports (class M1) so wither (sic) the replica industry or inclination?

If you download the - still draft - SVA regulations that apply to passenger cars only there are 203 pages. Try getting your head around that!
