Amendment to the EC Roadworthiness Package for Historic Vehicles - e-petitions
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/37784The European Commission is proposing to outlaw the use of any modifications and non-original components to historic vehicles by introducing the following legislation;
Periodic roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers and repealing Directive 2009/40/EC"
Worrying stuff – The latest EU proposal being sneaked into law, putting a ban on modified vehicles, will affect anyone with an interest in kit cars, replicas, modified and even classic cars, needs to be opposed.
Not only would this affect us the owners and enthusiasts, but it could well cause hundreds, if not thousands of small companies (manufacturers, restorers, aftermarket suppliers etc.) to fold.
There's lots of conflicting stories bouncing around on the net at the moment, but to be on the safe side, lets not sit back and hope it goes away. It's important you sign the petition below, before this stupidity goes any further.
Please pass on this e-petition to anyone you know and lets nip this in the bud, if you have a contact at other car clubs or sites like PistonHeads, then please make them aware, its no good saying it wont happen cos they are discussing it now have your say before it's too late.........
