The EU (non constitution) Treaty will bring about the end of the UK SVA test and associated triggering points system at the end of March 2009. It will be replaced with an evil Individual Vehicle Assessment (IVA) test triggered at MoT time. Practically every vehicle that is not completely 100% factory original is at risk of losing its DVLA registration and ability to drive on public roads in Britain, the rest of Europe and further.
An organisation called the Association of Car Enthusiasts is representing the views of modified vehicle owners in government consultations. I urge, each of you that have modified your vehicle to sign up for their free newsletter and for RnR to become a recognised supporter.
No other EU member state has the motoring heritage that the UK has. Modifying vehicles is almost a unique part of British and American culture that is completely lost on other Europeans. They just haven't got a clue why we don't all want to drive identical silver or black Audi A6 saloons. If we don't start complaining to our MP's now this will get pushed into law next April. I hope you kept all your old stock parts to put your motor back to factory spec. :roll: :roll:

Have you got there web addy that you could post.....
This is yet another Brittish tradition under threat from the cronies in the EU..... Why do we have to put up with this...... Just another stealth law that hope to get through un-noticed till some poor unsuspecting off-roader takes his car for an MOT...................................

Don't put money on the "it won't happen" bit. This chicken livered bunch of n'er-do-wells will simply come out with the standard guff of "it's EU legislation, there's nothing we can do about it" and their mindless supporters will say "oh well, that's alright then. Not your fault is it?".
As for the protests; when was the last time this government took any notice of what the voters want or say? Are they listening to the calls for lower fuel duty?No. Did they listen to the protest over the 10p tax band? No. Did they listen to the protests over the Iraq war? No. The only thing they say yes to is higher salaries, pensions and pay-offs for themselves.
Cynical I may be .. realistic I certainly am :D
