The reason given was that many cars were modified outside of the 8 point rule in period, and as such should still be considered VHIs despite failing the 8 point rule.
I did read that in some FBHVC document too, but still couldn't understand their logic as the DFT were and are proposing that all mods made before 1988 will not be considered when deciding whether a car could be a "VHI" or not.
IMO, these proposals are going to have the biggest impact on more modern classics: e.g. if you'd fitted a 5 speed gearbox in your AH Sprite or T type MG to make it safe to drive on a motorway, it won't be a VHI under these proposals.
