It is a lively and amusing debate!

It seems that there will be a quite a lot of replies to the consultation.

Thanks, softfeet.
I have updated my post above now I have calmed down a bit!
The proposal is that at the IVA you have to meet the current MOT requirements for emissions (which could of course change at any time in the future!).
So you'll need to build with a new'sh engine that has a properly working CAT and an ECU set up to meet the MOT test. So no good try to use an old engine on carbs with no CAT so this will exclude old V8's and Ford pinto's etc.

I still think it's unreasonable and ineffective to force the small number of builders down this route for very little impact on the environment.
