Been scouring the net for the answer to this but not come up with what i am looking for, i am doing the Le Mans classic trip again this year and am unclear as to whether my Classic car will now need an MOT, in years gone by this was not the case. Some people in our club think you do, others do not. I am aware of the stupid new rule over the UK plate instead of GB but what else is out there to trip us up?

The only other thing I've go concerns about is the Crit Air sticker.
Pre 1997 (I think) is excluded from Crit Air locations.
I'm fortunate that my TVR is 1998 but... it doesn't have any CO2 data on the V5 so imagine it's going to be the same.
Rouen appears to have one but only for trucks?

As always, it's not clear or easy, at least to me.

I believe this is covered by the Vienna Convention, but I'm never convinced out friends in Europe know about it. And Spain, Cyprus, Ireland, USA and a few other places haven't agreed

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on...

E.g. "The vehicle must meet all technical requirements to be legal for road use in the country of registration. Any conflicting technical requirements (e.g., right-hand-drive or left-hand-drive) in the signatory country where the vehicle is being driven do not apply."
