MOT exempt from 40 years old:

I know that, but this vehicle was presented for an MOT for seven years after its 40th anniversary. Many owners of historic vehicles continue to MOT then well after they legally need to.

I agree. I thnk I would be tempted to keep a car mot'd if I owned one of that vintage. It would need to be tested by a garage that actualy understood what it was testing though, with a time served experienced tester.

I remember sitting in a new N600 at a local motor show in Cambridge many years ago, I was impressed then but I didn't buy a Honda car until I bought my first new Jazz in 2009.
