Hi Mario - First IANAL! I think you need to refer to ELV Annex II (now 7th ed.) par. 8a . Scope and expiry date of the exemption "Vehicles type-approved before 1 January 2016 and spare parts for these veh= icles" The safest approach is to go lead free.=20 (But if this is only for personal use then nobody cares!)
