Re: Pre-1960 MoT exemption Chris2cv wrote: I believe it's also very similar in France, Belgium and possibly Germany too. In Belgium it is a bit different, there you can register an oldtimer on an O-plate. This means the license plate always starts with an O, and you have some restrictions on using the car: use of the car only during the day, within a range of 25km from home, unless it is for an organised tour. With an old-timer registered car you don't have the annual technical control

With an old-timer registered car you don't have the annual technical control That kind of restriction on use is a very big price to pay for no test.

Whilst tightening, I noticed that we've broken a rear coil spring... Quote: hope your still having fun Hell, yes. Just over a year on the road now. It's been a bit damp the last few days, here in Montenegro, though. I was just about to go out on the bike, do a lap of the coast road around the bay of Kotor - and it started raining... If it stops soon, I still might, but I'm losing enthusiasm rapidly.

Re: Pre-1960 MoT exemption Rhythm Thief wrote: Chris2cv wrote: Good news though, however cynical you might be! I'm not so sure about that. While I can well believe that the vast majority of those who run pre - 1960 cars have the attitude and the aptitude to service them properly and keep them roadworthy with or without an annual MOT, I can also well believe that this is the beginning of the end for those who use classic cars as transport rather than as museum pieces. Anyone like to lay odds on being able to get insurance cover for commuting in a pre - 1960 motor next year? Anything that marks us out as somehow different from other road users is a bad thing. ^what he said..i'm of the thinking that it's something more sinister than it looks. But then i usually am
