Roger you say tongue in cheek but Terry moved it from the pre 1945 group up to the pre 1961 group and it ticked all the boxes as a pre 1961 vehicle. VCC and MSNZ have no problem with that.
Talking of Hot Rods we were also happy to run a 1939 Ford Coupe with a pre 1961 Chev OHV V8 in our saloon field Once again it ticked all the boxes as a genuine pre 1961 vehicle. Sadly it was not able to run due to a mechanical problem but it was certainly eligible.
