Just a thought

In the pre-free movement days of historic racing several UK (& other) single seaters were road registered and could travel around Europe without the need for customs carnets etc.
Is there still a category for daylight use only cars? Such cars didn't need headlights etc. but weren't allowed to drive on the road in darkness, many Bugattis and similar were registered as such.
As for mudguards I think there was some similar flexibility.
Given that most historic racing cars are old enough to be MOT exempt that might also make registering them easier?
Of course that would rely on the UK establishing an arrangement that allows for free movement of road registered vehicles which is highly likely but not certain.
