I too have been following this topic very keenly because I have an MGB V8 conversion and a Ginetta G15 with BMW power. It is my opinion having read everything I can find, that in order to qualify for MOT exemption, a self-declaration will have to me made when re-taxing (I know it is free) that the vehicle conforms to the criteria and is MOT exempt. This does not preclude voluntarily putting the vehicle forward for an MOT. For those who's vehicles do not qualify for MOT exemption I believe they will be obliged to have an annual MOT as they do now.
I recently saw a copy of a communication from the DVLA or DOT to the Beach Buggy Club saying that the 8 point rule is going to be superseded by something else which may be more lenient. At the moment, no modifications to the chassis are allowed unless the vehicle goes through IVA. I'm eagerly waiting to hear the next instalment.
