Okay, so this states that it is based on 15% increase on power to weight ratio.
So............
Mine is , 260z 2+2 at original weight of 1200kg and 162 bhp
The L28 engine is 9 kg heavier = now 1209 kg ( i assume that I was 10 stone in the 70's and 17 stone now does not come into the power to weight calculation)
162 bhp / 1200 kg = 0.135 + 15%= 0.15525 x 1209 = 187.9 target bhp
If I was to install a roll cage does this mean that I could have more BHP due to the weight of the cage?
If I am above 187.9 bhp I would require an MOT.
Would this need a MOT

How will the police determine the BHP if the MOT is not done? I assume that as long as you do not have a RB swap you should be okay?
This appears to be an EU Directive, as we are still in the EU (at least for now) then Westminster have no option but to accept this. The EU directive is for 30 year old cars not just 40 year olds.
What happens to Z cars coming into the UK as it stands, I assume they are currently except from MOT testing in the original country (EU), and then when entering the UK also except, but then given 6 months or so to pass the MOT?
