Oh, but at least it has power steering. |

"no reason why she shouldnt go straight through an mot as she has only done 50 miles since full engine rebuild" Usually means has failed an MOT on just about everything else.. To be fair, I have a kit-car in the garage that since its last MOT has done 2 miles and due to some work I have done, is now in better condition than it was then. I have toyed with selling it, as with a wife and three kids, I don't get any chance to use it now - but I'll probably keep it. If I were to decide to sell, it should sail through an MOT, but I'd have to pay for insurance to get it to an MOT station; get it MOTd; and then pay for tax so that people can test drive it. Some people may find the minimum £280 cost unaffordable at the moment - especially if the reason for selling is financial difficulties. SteveW |
