One of the problems is that the Homologation papers have to be read along with App J from the period , as there were some freedoms under App J that did not have to be listed on the papers .
And then there is the problem that some series organisers specify App J from from outside the period in question .
That problem exists in Historic rallying , where FIA App K lists 1981 J , for cars that were about in the 70s .So there are some cars exactly as they ran on Internationals in that time which no longer comply with current rules .
All in all , its a nightmare .
