   you have to have a cat to pass the mot? im pretty sure that if you get caught without one you get a fine? but no doubt someone on here will say different

   Yes, but in this case, the vehicle was manufactured in June 2000(W reg) therefor the cat is still under the car.
   Anything manufactured Before September 2000 still had the cat under the car, so even though its a MK2 by eye, mechanically its still a MK1(as far as the cat is concerned, unsure about other mechanical bits however)
   This is the case with my furio, so i assume its the same for a VTR or any saxo for that matter.
   
   This might help a few others out aswell.
