Done some more to my garage. Spent some more money with the SnapOn man too. Got the Dansette in there now although in green it doesn't really fit with the red/white theme, like the Allen T handles which I'll replace with Red snap on when I can.

Nope,
but when did the DoT become the DfT and why?
If they're changing their name just for fun, why not call themselves the effing D@fT? :roll:

Well I've just taken another look at this. The UK government introduced MOT exemption for pre-1960 vehicles in 2012 following guidance laid down in EU Directive 2009/40/EC. That was aimed at 'historic vehicles' built before 1960. The EU introduced a new Directive last year (2014/45/EU) which seems to suggest they've moved the exemption to include vehicles over 30 years old.

Doesn't seem like a very good idea to me. I don't really understand who gains what from it?
