Think you might find there are plenty of places in the US where you'd not
be allowed to use them.

You know, it's bullshit and burocracy like that (among a few other
things) that had led me to seriously consider emigration across the
pond.
If they get that through I'm definitely going, and taking my Minis with
me!

It's the EU's motor makers intention (PSA/VW/??) to have the EU pass
laws that make keeping any car over 15 years old almost impossible. So
there will come a time when no new cars can become "historic" unless
laid up in a shed for 15 years from age 15 to 30. And then they will
come looking for them asking why you haven't recycled it.

Anyway it seems PC is now listing the 200SX S13 in the price guide.

Anyone seen the latest issue of PC, looks like the FIAI [1] is trying
to define what will be classed as a historic vehicle, it seems to come
down to the vehicle being 30 or more years old, maintained in original
condition (does that mean period extras or how it would have come off
the production line?) and *not* used as the owners main method of
motoring. The point of all this is, whilst we might well think
otherwise the legislators (such as the EU) that this organisation will
have the ear of will make it very important for the future of classic
cars. Whilst I welcome any move to stop people taking a classic car
and 'modernising' it I'm not so sure that these vehicles should be
forced to become all but museum items, there is no reason why a 30
plus year old car can't be used as daily transport and preserved- the
tow are not mutually exclusive!
