Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) exists to maintain the freedom
of its members to use historic vehicles on the UK's roads, hence its campaign
message: 'Yesterday's Vehicles on Tomorrow's Roads'. The FBHVC has over
530 member clubs representing over 255,000 individual owners including members
of the MG Car Club.
In its latest press release the FBHVC says "politicians
of every hue are struggling for space on the hustings to make their pre-emptive
strikes in an election campaign which promises to be one of the most fiercely
fought in recent times". With
this in mind it has produced its own Election Manifesto setting out what the FBHVC
stands for all its member organisations.
Two highlights in the Manifesto
call upon the political parties tthrough legislative powers to:
> Implement
the EU Roadworthiness directive sympathetically to avoid the rigid requirements
some Mainland European authorities seem to like.
> Extend the historic
vehicle Excise Duty exemption to 30 years from the recently introduced and
welcome 40 year rolling exemption. | | V8
