Don't forget you'll also need age verification for whatever motor you choose too.

I wasn't far off with 93 then!! 😂

1993 was when ABS became mandatory for all type approved manufacturer vehicles also i believe.

Passenger cars (1) first used on or after 1 August 1992 and mentioned in the
Annex to this publication.

All passenger cars first used on or after 1 August 1995.(2)
For all petrol engined vehicles first used before 1 August 1992, all gas engined
vehicles and vehicles other than passenger cars first used before 1 August 1994 the
test procedure consists of a metered check at the normal idle speed, the so-called
`non-catalyst' test.

Its a little confusing when you look at the documents but looks pre 1 August 1992 your ok but your engine could sit in the 1992 to 1995 grey area on the type of vehicles ( engine date).

For some reason 1993 is in my head for mandatory catalytic converters, however i haven't googled it and might be wrong.

Could someone point me in the direction of some advice for engine age and emissions requirements.
I know pre-75 is visible smoke only, but from what year do you need cats?
Thank you
