Last time I heard, ( was a few years ago now)

I think its the other way around, It is illegal for a dealer to supply a vehicle with one on but its fine if you buy and fit one yourself

Illegal to fit but not illegal to sell (yet).

Only applies to vehicles first registered after the 25th May 2007

I suspect this is the correct price as these are not full A-bars.

The seller has them back on at £175 and £199 :lol:

Well done Tanvics!

Actually, they are illegal to sell if they do not have an EU certificate of conformity.
If you buy and fit one, you will not get done, if however you are unfortunate enough to kill or injure someone with your van with one on, the seller could be in deep doodoo. Plus if you didn't tell your insurance company, you might find yourself in trouble too.
Any vehicle registered after may 25th 07 may ONLY be fitted with an approved bar. If you have a vehicle with one on registered before may 25th 07 you don't have to take it off. I would however be wary of people who tell you it is not illegal to sell them.
