Hi I who’d not be too complacent about any new law from the EU regarding any vehicles Mot as this will not only include your daily car but also your hobby take for instance you changed your tyres on your car for low profiled tyres this will mean a mot fail as they will not be the same as when it left the factory that to me means that any upgrades ore changers you make on any vehicles that you have will not be allowed so we cannot just say it will not effete me we need to do something about it and not let someone else do it for us before it is too late .

As a ex classic car nut with over 40 years of working on them and ownership of anything from a Ford pop to rebuilding 5 sunbeam alpines not all at once I have found that over the last 10 to 15 years it has been more difficult to find a mot station that can test these old cars due to the tester not having the experience of testing these cars and in some cases trying to test them to modern standards and not to when the car was manufactured . Therefor i think that the 1960 cut-off date is a good thing as most classic owners know there cars inside out and keep them in good order . cheers Bill :cheesy:

Hi I see that we are all getting a new red V5C log book by November 2012 under the heading that quote (we are replacing all existing blue V5Cs the new certificate is being introduced following the theft of a number of blank blue V5Cs.) i got mine today bill :nut:

Hi In 1940 the Rolls Royce 1914 and 1920 bodies had a Field modification with the turret onto 158” Ford truck chassis, This work reportedly was done in Egypt in October 1940. The armament was a Vickers .303 machine gun inturret. Later, a box-shaped mount was added to the side of the turret in a number of cars for a Boys ATR and a Lewis machine gun on a scarff ring on top of the turret. Some were fitted with a large armoured box called the “coffin” behind the turret in location of the former truck bed which enlarged the fighting compartment and allowed the installation of a wireless set Type 19(?)
