This bit should put the cat amongst the pigeons if it's implemented as implied.

What this all means is still unclear but it has been suggested that historic vehicles that are modified away from original factory specification could lose their historic status. It has also been implied that if non-original parts have been used to restore a vehicle, you could face the same implications.



Could mean no free tax for modified and maybe an insurance adjustment.

The last bit about modified historic vehicles potentially losing their historic vehicle status is interesting!

Some of the cars that i have seen at the shows i have been to must be running on bent tests or get modded after thay have been presented. It would be intresting to see what would happen if VOSA set up camp out side a VW show :d .

I think that tow bars and electrics are to be included as well.

Mrs Lifeinthegarage..............look on the bright side......at least you won't have to carry around that washing machine in your engine compartment. It should make the car lighter and make it easier to push it in and out of the garage to wash.

A listed building retains its status though, even if half is rebuilt and all refitted.

Just what really is a 'Historic' car. Needs a good history to be so I think. Probably a handful of VWs the most in the uk are truly historic. That is they have a significant part in UK motoring history.

Wrong on two counts my old Serbo-Croat friend.

Firstly the Ghia started fine with just a little choke this morning and enjoyed it's woooooo swift visit to the local pub at lunchtime and secondly as a genuine period accessory my "washing machine" doesn't infringe any of the existing or proposed legislation.:d

They did just that, during one of the Shanty Pod shows in the late 1990s. One of our entourage got his car impounded, and rightly so (dodgy tyres, lights not working properly and christ knows what else). He had to get a lift into the show, buy loads of bits and fix the various stuff before he could get it out of there.

No decklid alterations needed for my "washing machine", which according to period opinion was the Rolls Royce of washing machines. The Judson was always an economy model but one that functions effectively if fitted properly and not flogged to death.

The Shorrock was top of the small supercharger range but didn't sell well as they cost 4 times more than a Judson kit. You know what VW owners are like....cheap b***ards.:wink:

BTW The Shorrock can't be fitted to the 30hp engine...just the 34hp.

If you are talking of the car's history itself, then I can only think of two UK VWs that are really historic, both of them Beetles.:sneaky:

Rattletrap – the Volkswagen Beetle that has covered an incredible mileage equivalent to over 35 times around the planet :omg:
Running nifty since 1950… the King of Volkswagens:beer: Why not make friends with this famous little VW – he's on facebook! :d
