The club signing off the car is a great idea, No smart club president is going to put his own *** on the line to pass a really knackered car. The ones that do and have should be shut down. Expecting certain old cars (even my merc) to pass a full rwc AND engineer check without a body off restoration is ridiculous. It should just be an honesty system with old cars, and it was, but as said, certain morons took advantage of it and killed it.

I agree with you in regards to a model T and the like which were made in a totally different era. But then there are a lot of cars that should be able to. My cousin passed his 65 mustang last year when he brought it over. There are enough signs there pointing to the car having never been restored. So why can't any car in this case from 69 onwards pass a full roadworthy? In the end the car needs to be up to the standards of the year it was built in to pass a roadworthy anyway. Sorry, but rwc should be left to mechanics to hand out. Not just rock up to a club and be told here are your plates.
