A max of 750cc. I would go along with that. However in the spirit of classic racing. I would suggest we only allow classic tyres as they were in the day.

I thought passengers could still wear them so long as there`s no gap between bottom of leathers and top of boots

The point is this,there is not supposed to be ANY development in Historic motorsport,at all.
The moment you develop things its no longer Historic.
If you want to develop,improve etc,go race F1 or F2.
Its people who keep finding extra horsepower,wider tyres/wheels,more expensive non period suspension,that are driving up the costs,and putting the sport beyond the reach of ordinary people,and this also applys to solos as well.

Well said Tony,its not Historic racing and won`t ever be until people stop bending the rules
