Fugginell fellas!!!
Man buys ropey old kit car to enter the PPC mag challenge, gets it running & MOT'd, does the challenge & has fun. Then he chucks it
back on ebay to get some cash back.
No it shouldn't pass an MOT without the rear arches but it did have them on for the test as has already been pointed out & they came off
during the day's event. There'll be plenty cars sold with faults that wouldn't pass an MOT but they still have a valid ticket.
So mabye it isn't correctly registered, fair point but no-one will think at any point it's still 1275 Mini so any buyer should be aware of
what it is & there'll be hundreds & mabye thousands of cars out there similar (some of which will belong to folk on here!). It's a
very different thing morally to passing it off as a different vehicle altogether like ringing a stolen car
How many cars on here have been through SVA/IVA & have since been modded to the point where it's not really the same car any more & as
such should be classified as radically altered but no-one says anything about that!

Ditto.
I love the bit often posted where people say that the modifications start once the IVA is passed. So there is intent and knowledge that what they are
doing is about to make their car fail the standards needed to pass the test. Then complain that somebody else has bent the rules.
Smacks of hypocrisy
