Good news was revealed today by the Chief Minister as the first stage of legal proceedings put against the Gibraltar Government by former Runway tunnel contractors Obrascon Huarte Lain SA (OHL), come to a close. Mr. Picardo this morning

The Gibraltar Classic Vehicle Association (GCVA) welcomes Parliament’s approval of the new legislation designed to protect, enhance and properly regulate the use of classic vehicles in Gibraltar.
The new legislation means that for the first time classic vehicles are recognised in Law as requiring special treatment. The road testing requirements, popularly known as MOT testing, will take into account the age of the vehicle and the motor technology that was available at the time it was first built. This, for example, will exempt classic vehicles from today's very stringent emission controls.
