[Bmcu] Vintage Vehicle Registration

[Brian Elkins]

I have registered my '71 Lotus Europa and it went without a hitch.

Also, I do not know if there is still controversy regarding whether or  
not you need a safety inspection but there is no question you do NEED  
ONE.  I was told if you are pulled over by the police and you do not  
have your safety inspection you will lose your vintage plate status  
and the luxuries it affords (no emissions testing).
