HTP a lottery?

a pal of mine just posted this on FB:

Après 2 ans ½ d’aller et retour avec les services techniques de la FFSA, de remarques injustifiées, de demande de modifications, de présentation d’un nouveau dossier, d’une demande d’intervention auprès du Président… Trouvant systématiquement une opposition Ã* ma demande, (chaque fois une raison différente était invoquée !...) J’ai abandonné et présenté mon dossier au RACB…
RESULTAT : 3 mois plus tard, j’avais en main mon fameux PASSEPORT TECHNIQUE HISTORIQUE.
A vous de juger !

you can see why some people think it's a farce...

Nice one Al, although the tone was apparent before translation! It is indeed a moment for celebration when the sacred document is in your hands.

However, IMHO, a lot of problems and delays are to do with not getting application form right in first place. Even when it is correct, questions will be asked, more information requested- especially if it is model of car they are not familiar with. My Gilbern GT was first of the type to get HTP and it wasn't a quick process. But you get there eventually!

Farce? No. A pain? Yes....

Maybe the Post Office could be persuaded to offer the same sort of service they provide for passport application vetting...

... I'll get me coat...

Two and a half years? That was quick!
How about FIVE yrs,thats how long it took to get them on a friends HRG that had actually raced in the Spa 24hr in 1949.We had exactly the same crap thrown up time after time,eventually insisting that the application be sent directly to the German side of things,hey presto,one month later!!!
Want HTPs?,get them done outside of the UK.

Further to the above,back in the good ole daze, whilst working with CMS,had to take a Sunbeam Tiger down to show Jeremy Hall at Slough. Arrived for the appointment on time at 1.30 pm. Jeremy then checked over,photographed the required points as deemed by the FIA. By 3.30,I was on my way back to CMS with a freshly HTP'd Tiger!! Three days later we were in possession of said papers. THAT is how it should be done,as we had a very good working relationship with probably the best HTP Compliance Inspector,he knew that what we built would be correct,things should be similar today. Far too many builders have tried to build iffy cars and now all UK inspectors seem to regard every car they see as something to be wary of.

Even as recently as 2007/8 my request for HTP was very speedily dealt with by Jeremy Hall and then Marcus Pye, never had any problems with the UK end of things.

To go back to my origonal thread, the list shown on the link below seems fairly relivent for us oldies.

http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public...Model-2010.pdf

It shows the Chevy 2 & Chevelle as papers not availble.

Then you need to provide photographic proof of the car competing in an "international" event [other than just a race in america]
