Would the inspectors know what they had in front of them??
Over here, the Australian Design Rules came into effect in 1968. Up till then, there was no requirement for cars to have such things as turning indicators, seat belts, demisters etc, many of the things that are taken for granted nowadays. The requirement to install them applied only to cars manufactured after the ADRs came into effect. Most of the vehicle inspectors about now weren't even born in 1968 and have real trouble getting their heads around the fact that our cars don't have to have those things fitted. I expect it's the same over there. Good luck!
