Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs
Today, 9 May 2024, Mark Harper, the Secretary of State for Transport announced that the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) have launched a call for evidence around the existing policies and registration processes for historic, classic and rebuilt vehicles.
The announcement was made at Bicester Heritage and aims to seek expertise and knowledge about whether these policies need updating to reflect evolving technologies that support the restoration and rebuilding of these vehicles.
DfT and DVLA are keen to tap into a range of experience, views, and research to help identify areas of potential change while ensuring that road safety and accurate vehicle records on the national register remain key priorities.
The call for evidence asks for evidence on several topics including:
- historic/classic vehicle registration
- rebuilt and restored vehicles
- kit-built vehicles
- vehicles converted to electric propulsion
- Q registration numbers
- the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The Federation will be continuing its work with DVLA by providing our full response that will encapsulate all of the dialogue we have had with the department over the previous months and will share it with Federation members in due course.
