I did learn that my own understanding of Schedule K was off the mark, assuming that it was for cars that were pretty much original, and therefore pure, with T & C offering limited options. As it is, Schedule K is for cars as they raced in period, which is a different slant altogether...
There was the predictable push for getting a CoD and and an equally predictable response as to why it is unneccessary in its present form for anything other than a car with provenance.
Nigel Russell explained why the year the car represented was important, with a graphic set of 4 pictures of the Valour in various forms. For those with day to day classics, as opposed to historic single seaters/sports racers, it probably didn't change any perceptions at all, merely emphasising the relevance and value of the detailed CoD for those cars and in its present form, the opposite for most production cars.
The replica or period specials area was briefly covered but there is still nothing in T & C that allows a period special saloon.
So, nothing earth shattering from that workshop, though others may have a different view.
I too await details of the actual AGM on the Saturday.
The best comment of the day however came from Barry Leitch, who like me, is amazed at the knowledge in Steve Holmes head, assuming he must be about 90 years of age - and being suitably shocked to find that he isn't.
