I have a special on a 1928 chassis with all the correct running gear - but a Hamblin body. So not welcome.
I can understand them being picky, if they were uniform with it. However letting certain cars in (probably as regulars / committee / family have them) and not others that are comparable does seem daft.
The recently rewrote some of the rules to let Morris Minors post 1930 and Model A Fords in (plus a few others).
At the end of the day it is meant to be a sports car club, so I can't understand why saloons are allowed when I think about it. To me a sports car is fast, soft top/open top affair.
I have little experience of the VSCC apart from being a member (I've yet to do anything as I need to get the Chummy authenticated). However I do hear from a lot of people that it can be a bit of 'haves and have nots' and the Sevens are or were looked down on by the bigger boys.
