The inspector spent 45 minutes looking at the paperwork (on his lunch break) and another hour looking at the car, both exterior, interior, engine bay and up on the lift. Checked brakes, and alignment, which were all good (I did it with the string method). Passed first time through, but like I said, I was there all morning. If they want you to go through emissions, somebody F'ed up. That was before the 'vintage' rule took effect, so no vintage plate for me. Good luck.

The inspectors today are far better to work with. The experience is no longer painful or extended in the inspection lane... you will however spend hours in the big building waiting to pay the fees.
You are entitled to a courtesy re-inspection and they will re-qualify your car under the Classic registration and allow the tags that come with it.
