Some conditions attached. One of them is that the power to weight ratio must not be more than 15% higher than original, unless the mod was made pre 1988

That's us stuffed with close to 275% change. Not sure how they police that though?

Make sure that the engine is pre-1988 and they would find it difficult to say no.

That's lucky as I have a copy of November 1988 Sprint magazine where my Vixen is advertised for sale with it's "stage 3 modified 1760cc crossflow" engine. Should be OK for qualify. It will be interesting to see if the MSA allow us to hillclimb next year without a valid MOT though?

How do they handle the pre-60s cars that are currently MOT exempt?
