Well ok, it's not the cars first but it's the first in my ownership which it went in for today. I was fairly sure there wouldn't be any major issues but was still pleased to be told that it sailed through! :D :D

COngratulations Ian !
We all know the feeling each year, and indeed when you get the green colour document, it is good news.

Happy driving and many smiles now

The MOT on my '65 car is due in a couple of weeks time. I've read about asking to have the brakes tested by a road test and the old fashioned dashtop meter rather than a rolling road. I assume this is to avoid damaging the limited slip diff. Does anyone know whether I should insist on the road test method ?

Yes, you should. The MOT testers handbook is available on the web and section 7 (I think) says that cars with a limited slip diff need not be tested on a roller brake.

OK, here is the section in question 3.7 of the MOT testers handbook:
