Larry, don't give up. A literal following of what you state means a 1910
Model T would not qualify on a three day convention. Come now, I am sure
this is nothing more than a guide to discourage regular transport. I drove
a TF 7500 miles in 19 days, and even JC Taylor, sanctioned the trip as
being an exception. The point is, they want the car used for limited
purposes, not on a regular schedule. Fill out the form and eliminate a
headache. I am waiting for the 2005 to get the last of my MGs on historic
plates (an 80) and be done with inspections of all types.
