Baz, not the first, gus's car was tested in Exeter last year. According to the tester there is a regular trickle of locost type vehicles going through.
The inpection process was very thorough, lasting just over four hours. The main issue was the emissions which I was allowed to tweak into range. No other potential showstoppers thank goodness. In retrospect it was quite an enjoyable process! After the test went straight round to the DVLA office and much to my surprise came away with an age related reg number and a road taxed! I was over the moon
