just wont happen in anything like the format the scaremongerers claim if at all.

Ignoring the modified scene, if everything has to be type approved, what are they going to do about low volume manufacturers and kit car companies that dont need type approval??

you cant suddenly ban a completely legal sector of the motoring industry on a whim. It would not be realistic or practical to do it for kit cars let alone modified cars.

Modified cars have in legal terms always been on dodgy grounds since the EU started meddling with type approvals. You could traditionally get away with mods under the guise of the mods complying with construction and use regs.

if they cant get rid of the kit car scene and always have a method to let non-type approved cars on the road (ie IVA testing) then there will always be a route to keep modified cars on the road.
