This morning I saw driving along the road a Volkswagen Typ 2/T2 camper van with an 04 registration number (which means first registered between March and August 2004). It was right-hand drive and the engine sounded like an original air-cooled Volkswagen unit. I know that the Typ 2 is still made in Brazil, but, given that they're no doubt extremely out of date as far as European regulation are concerned, how would someone manage to register a new one in Britain in 2004? Are there any loopholes in the regulations? (I imagine that converting the steering is relatively simple for a rear-engined vehicle.)
