You could be missing the point. Odds on a track car won't have a catalyst (MOT fail on most cars), could have slicks (MOT fail), could have no rear seats, harnesses instead of seatbelts, lights removed etc. etc.

Funnily enough there are a lot of things you don't have to have for an MOT. I was at a show next to Ed China who runs a road going sofa. No lights or indicators for examplre but quite legal nonetheless. The point is if you have lights or indicators they have to work properly. D

Fair point, but anything that was fitted by the factory when new must be operable (lights, seatbelts etc)
Road going sofas and skips don't really fall into this category and I doubt Si is proposing to do a track day on his sofa - although you never know

Harnesses are legal for the MOT. The book says something like they must be 4 point fixing with a push button release (Not turnbuckle), be propperly secured to the floor etc, and have a britsh approval sticker permanently fixed to them.
My old sunbeam has 4 pt Luke harnesses and these were deemed to be legal.

Strangely enough I've seen a road-going sofa 
Also has a lampstand and a TV in front of it so the driver looks like he is watching tellie when driving. PMSL as he drove by.
Has anyone else seen this guy? Fookin nutter
