Degsy Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) There is no such thing as a pre 1960 Reo whistler. There are plenty out there declared as pre 1960 but strictly speaking none of these are legal. I am led to believe DVLA are aware of this situation and will be taking action. If and when this happens owners would be liable to prosecution as every year you are declaring that details are correct and would no longer be able to drive these vehicles on a car licence and they would be subject to an annual test.

Don't think any military vehicle (Take a jeep for example )can be called an original vehicle as such ? .

itisiceman Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ok a m35a1 is that easier for you.. And if they change the law for the early reo They will change the law for all...😈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 You appear to misunderstand, there was no mention of the law being changed, the point I was making is all to do with false declaration of the year of manufacture. This applies equally to M35A1 and M35A2 as they were built during the same time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
