MV Restrictions in BC and Saskatchewan

[rob love]

Do they not have the little maple leaf in a circle decal on the door piller? I thought I saw them there, but in all honesty, as a mechanic, we fixed them a lot more than admired them. If that decal is there, then they are certified. If not, then they will be difficult to register in those provinces I suspect. Of course, your mileage may vary.



Back when the 5/4 tons were sold off, I remember hearing about someone having difficulty, even back then, to register one because the decal was not on the door-piller. After 16 years of paint jobs and rebuilds, the decals on most were long gone.

For sure things are changing.

We sold a Bedford MJ from Ontario to a lad who lived in another western province and he found it unregisterable once he got home.

So sad to see such restrictions for such subjective reasonings.

Just another slam towards our freedom in Canada.

This province has (or had|) a set of standards for imported or specialty vehicles. But that may well be gone as I can no longer find them. I am of the thought that the government would just as soon everyone was driving boring vehicles that are less than 7 years old with airbags, ABS brakes, and perhaps in any colour you want, as long as it's white.



I am fortunate in that the provincial inspectors in this neck of the woods are car guys. They help organize the cruise nights, and get around and talk to the collectors. It has not hurt when registering something unique, however they too have their masters, who may not be car guys but rather bureaucrats.

You are now famous in Sask . Dave ! Do you have a maple leaf in a circle on your LSVW ?

Tip of the iceberg. My crystal ball tells me you will soon be discouraged from even restoring an old vehicle, much less drive it on the road. Too many toxic chemicals and substances, not to mention the risk of amateurs like you injuring yourself. In a future of electric vehicles your greenhouse gas emitting hobby won't be allowed the gas to run it, even if you could afford such a niche product. Then there's that whole "why would anybody need an army truck. I don't think you should be allowed to own one" busy-body attitude.

So drive'em while you still can....
