For a number of years Greg Smith MP has been working with HCVA, Association of Heritage Engineers and the wider classic car sector to resolve the numerous issues with the DVLA misunderstanding.
Greg has been asking Ministers to address these issues and was delighted to join Transport Secretary Mark Harper at Bicester Heritage earlier for the launch of a call for evidence to start the process. Fantastic the government has listened.
This call for evidence explains the current policies used for identifying such vehicles and the registration processes for them, which have been in place for many years.
The Department for Transport are seeking expert knowledge about whether these policies need updating, in particular to reflect evolving technologies that support the restoration and rebuilding of vehicles, along with vehicles that are being converted to electric. The government also want any suggestions based on knowledge and expertise in this area that may assist in improving the registration process for these vehicles.
It is vital everyone affected by these issues registers there evidence by 4th July here - https://www.gov.uk/.../registering-historic-classic...
Was fun to take some cars out on track too!
