No one enjoys modified cars more than I, or the guests on this site.
I feel confident when I say, this will never happen.
Please sleep easy knowing the government would not close down specialist garages, insurance copmanys, parts specialists, engineers, import and export companys, the public spending there money etc. The list goes on and on!

This is alarmist reporting and is nothing like as bad as it seems. The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs lobbies in the European Parliament on all of our behalf, and the MGCC representative is Chris Hunt Cooke. Here is what he wrote on the V8 Register web site this morning:
I am afraid that that this is alarmist nonsense from ACE written by someone who does not know how the EU works. This is simply the first draft of a proposed directive, issued for comment. The DfT have circulated a paper picking out some of the items and requested the reactions of a few organisations. They are not set up at this stage to receive individual comments, and flooding them with individual comments will not be in the least helpful.
What the Commission have done is more or less take the German model of testing, where one of the criteria is whether the vehicle conforms to the original type approval, and what FBHVC will be doing is urging that the UK model is maintained, under which the vehicle as presented is tested for safety related items. The proposal as drafted is wholly impracticable in any event, requiring detailed specifications of every vehicle ever built to be available to the tester, in order to determine whether it has been modified, because a modified vehicle could not be a historic vehicle and therefore exempt, whatever its age.
