The European Commission has backed down

[Anton Sobriquet 0]

Report in today's Telegraph:-

 

"The European Commission has backed down over plans which would have seen owners of classic cars being forced to take them off the road if they had been modified in any way.....

 

..... agreement means that UK testers will be given greater discretion to assess the roadworthiness of classic cars built after 1960. Historic vehicles built before that date are exempt from the MoT."

That´s very good news indeed. I had been following this for quite some time since these plans first reared their ugly EU-heads.

 

Regarding the caravans and trailers I wopuld have gone further: Do a James May, ban the things, because they always get in the way of cars trying to have a bit of fun on the roads :lol:

ACE are preparing a statement now,

There's obviously changes,as its going to cost the Country £18 million instead of £1 billion !

If it stayed the same,it wouldn't be costing us anything
