DVLA Trying to sneak a change in?

July 19, 2004

Posting this that I've just been emailed. Probably worth a look.

=================================================

JUST BEEN SENT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE. READ CAREFULLY,

AND PASS IT ON TO EVERY CAR ENTHUSIAST YOU KNOW. THIS

IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ANYONE WHO BELIEVES YOU SHOULD BE

ALLOWED TO BUILD KIT CARS...

Typical DVLA - sneaking things out...

They're doing a 'public consultation' (without telling

anyone, as usual).

============================================

DC

PLEASE everybody interested in being able to continue

to engine swap, tube frame or significantly visually

alter motor vehicles in the UK go to the DVLA web site

and go through the nausea of completing thier online

submission - also please request a copy of the

consultation paper. Doesn't matter if you don't read

it - they judge strength of public feeling on the

number of them that the send out.

basically they are trying to screw anyone moddifying a

car, and particularly those of us moddifying older

cars (not allowing fitting of more modern components

without having to re-register on a Q plate, having to

go the SVA for your mods every time, etc.)

BTW kit means kit car built to original kit car spec

not fitting a body kit.

Deadline is 19th July, they're sneaked this f*cker on

us without any anouncement.

ALSO: please copy the link and post it on any other

suitable web sites. The consultation list they have

for this excercise includes such bodies as "The

Christian Road Safety League" and RoSPA and the

Vehicle Scrap Dismantlers Association, and not anyone

to do with modifying cars or the moddified vehicle

industry - need as much support for this as possible.
