No doubt the petition needs everyones support but classic car buyer have a full page report on it in last weeks issue. Their take on it is as it stands its pretty much an unworkable proposal thrown up and that proposal is the operative word. Thousands of these are generated every year and just get pushed around tables on the trip to the bin. Still worth adding your name to the petition though.

The rules in Germany are much tighter than here and seriously limit aftermarket upgrades and tuning. For manufacturerd vehicles it's only permissable to retro fit extras and add ons that were available as factory options at the time. We wouldnt want those sorts of rules here unless kit cars were excempt.
The germans come here to buy already registered kit cars so that they dont have to do battle over what was or wasn`t fitted as standard. I dont think they can even register a kit car there but they can import one and stick it on the road, what a load of bollocks .Always away round most things.
