No one will convince the DVLA that fitting a slurpy old Rover V8 will improve efficiency, safety, or environmental performance! That being the case, it'll never qualify for historic vehicle status. |
We have discussed this issue previously, somewhere in the posts above I think. The motor car is already properly registered as a V8 (some years ago if I recall), so I doubt that any of the civil servants working from their kitchen tables in Swansea will notice anything out of the ordinary. I rather suspect it will qualify as an historic vehicle without any problems (but I suppose there is a small risk).
