Adrian,
ok well I looked @ the latest revision I have of st/u rules and
it was somthing to this effect.
"vehicle must have 4 seats and 4 seatbelts, and not sports car based"
does the "sports car based" cover the MGB-GT also STU must comply to the 3.1
litre displacement

P.S. I would not be suprised how liberal the "sports car" definition is
taken in the future, super protest bait if you ask me.
