I think that I may have some peace of mind for Spyder spaceframe owners.
Its to do with "substantial changes" with regards to Q plates and the new MOT exemption
Spyder made their spaceframe within 10 years of the end of production of the Elan and Plus 2

Acceptable changes
It does not count as a ?substantial change? if:
changes are made to preserve a vehicle because the original type parts are no longer reasonably available
they are changes of a type which can be demonstrated to have been made when vehicles of the type were in production or within 10 years of the end of production
and the next part covers the suspension etc
axles and running gear have been changed to improve efficiency, safety or environmental performance
changes were made to vehicles that were previously used as commercial vehicles, and you can prove the changes were made when the vehicle was used commercially
