Oh how I loved those 50's & 60's Customs. Big Daddy Roth's imagination was out of this world. Your car is fantastic, what next?

Sorry Paul, was not my intention to bring you into this debate and appreciate your support of my build.

Was just trying to show that we/people tend to focus on what we see as outside of the 'normal' and automatically believe that it cannot be legal!

The indicators on your car look right and in the 'normal' position, so nobody would question their legality.

The Laws and Regs are not as smart as they think they are, loopholes & ambiguities do exist, sorry Mr Towed its not all Black & White!

Again it comes down to personal Risk Assessment (RA) as to how we apply them to our builds.

NO or out of position lights is unlikely to kill anybody and I have no intention of driving it after bedtime!!
So my RA is to MY wallet as a worst-case.

Healthy debate is good, we are not discussing stuff that is Top Secret!
The Rules/Regs/Laws are in the Public Domain.

Sorry all Mad About Members I have not intended to offend anybody, I honestly thought that the 'daytime' lights was a known thing.

Agreed the mudguards/open wheel, is totally down to interpretation

The loophole is guys and girls that the mot requirements and the legal requirements don’t match

It’s as simple as that ..

Colin - It is all good here.

I've just be out for a drive in my car with the sun shining and this is the life.

I got the usual round of thumbs up from other drivers, waves from small children, photos being taken, etc.

I am sure that you spread even more joy when out and about in your car.

Enjoy, Paul.
