Are you going to stamp the frame then Ash, given that a legible Vehicle Identification Number (on a plate or stamped on the frame) is an MOT requirement.

Do you think MOT's will still be needed when Ash gets round to finishing it then? My 350 Norton has been with me, unfinished for 30 years in 3 different sheds 😔😔😔🙈

Post by: Chris400F on May 20, 2016, 02:28:22 PM: I guess that may partly depend on whether the MOT requirement is ever made 'rolling', as the Historic Vehicle class is.
At the moment I believe it is pre 1960 vehicles only, don't know of any plans to change this.
Ash seems to get things done, this can be another for his museum :)
