The UK is fortunate in that we have kept a section of the registration/licence process for special builds. At the time of negotiating our entry to the EU we had a long-established and thriving kit-car industry, the last vestiges of which are still alive. This represented a sizeable contribution to employment and economy (at that time) which was recognised by the UK government after some pressure was applied.
As car manufacture is one of the most the dominant industries throughout Europe the power it wields over governments is enormous and while it may be politically expedient to blame the EU for the ills of registration bureaucracy it is ease of uniformity that the industry wants and, in most cases, gets. We evaded the net.
