DVLA consultation on historic & modified cars
Discussion
Sharing this which came up on the TR Register forum. Appears the boffins in DVLA could be looking to make some major changes, especially if you look at the sections on "Historic and Classic Vehicles", "Kit-Cars" and "Vehicles converted to Electric" to name but a few things PHers should be aware of.
Nice of them to allow Joe Public to submit feedback, but will it make a difference?

The TR Register has heard its membership and sent the following to all members from the FBHVC . I fully suspect other car groups are as well(or I sure as heck hope others are):
This is an urgent call-to-action!
You may be aware of the 9 May Government announcement of a wide-ranging consultation about the registration of historic vehicles https://www.fbhvc.co.uk/news/article/dft-and-dvla-...
In total, the consultation asks 50 questions in 12 subject headings. It covers all historic vehicles - not solely cars - of all types, and are all represented within the Federation.
Please find attached a Press Release (in Word and PDF) explaining how the Federation has set out its provisional position on each of the areas and is calling for your feedback in an online questionnaire.
We are seeking your club’s and your members’ feedback, along with that from our wider supporter membership and community.
This will help shape the Federation’s formal response to the consultation, on a topic of great importance that affects the entire movement.
The consultation offers FBHVC member clubs the opportunity to shape the creation and evolution of policies to preserve our ability to restore, register, and use historic vehicles efficiently and fairly for tomorrow’s roads.
We strongly encourage you to share this information – and importantly the link https://evidence.fbhvc.co.uk/ – with all your members and wider historic vehicle friends (such as through social media).
The more people who respond to us the better, as this will ensure that our collective voices will carry considerable weight.
It’s taken a very long time - and a huge amount of extremely hard work by our dedicated team - to get to this position, as we battled on your behalf.
Now, it’s over to you!
The MT will be formulating the club's formal response to the Federation position. It will be hugely supportive of the FBHVC but we need to go through it in detail to see if we can add anything of substance. In the meantime, please click on the link: https://evidence.fbhvc.co.uk/ and respond to the questionnaire yourselves. It is far better for the classic car community to respond via the FBHVC rather that direct to the DVLA. We have a greater voice when we act together.
A cynic could say that the government's actions to open up the call for evidence to the public is that it did not like the response it had already received from the industry bodies, so it may be an attempt to divide (and conquer) the community. We need to stick together, please support the FBHVC.
This message will be going out to all our members asap.
Many thanks
