Intention to ban the use of the XK and similar engines in Kit Cars

[NATONEIL]

There is good news on this matter. The FBHVC have the following in the news section on the website:
The Department for Transport (DfT) has written to the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs today (1 May) to advise that following an overwhelming negative response to their recent consultation, the proposal to require certain classes of vehicles submitted for an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) following construction to meet currently prevailing emission standards, is withdrawn.
Arguments against the proposal demonstrated the immeasurably small beneficial effect on air quality that would have resulted whilst on the other hand SME’s involved in the UK Kit car sector and specialists involved in reconstructing historic vehicles would have been put out of business at a stroke.
The status quo will therefore prevail with regard to IVA testing going forward.

Well done everybody who responded, it is very pleasing for the DOT to listen for a change.

This is good news indeed. I am delighted that common sense has prevailed and that we were all encouraged through the forum to write to DOT and complain. A great effort by all concerned.
