I note from the 'Classic cars' mag issue Jan 22 that the darlings at the DfT are up to their old tricks again. The Transport Regulatory Review will (Quote) Create new offences for tampering with a system, part or component of a vehicle intended or adapted to be used on the road (unquote)
This is obviously aimed at the folks modding cars and bypassing the emissions equipment - "Chipping may well be in this group". But, it does not take much to see that the scope of this legislation could well include the removal of the points and the fitting of an electronic ignition system for example, or the changing of an engine - where do you stop?????? Unfortunately the consultation closed on the 22nd of November so no time to get your objections in.
