This is indeed bad news. BUT, I have to say at least the governmet gives you a chance to pass a 'super'MOT test. And that way, you car is still legally on the road. All you have to do is get insurance, and you should be ok.
Please spare a silent moment for those fools of us who lives in France. Here we can not make ANY such chages to the car. Anything non-stock is illegal. And if caught or in an accident, you get into BIG s**t.........
I hope for your sake that this does NOT go/get through the process!
