I’ve bought yet another ECU for it using the correct part number. It’s estimated to arrive next week seeing as it’s coming from Lithuania. A connector might still be needed, but I’ll see how things go first.

Keep going! You wouldn’t have as interesting a thread, and it’s satisfying to see an unloved one turning into a nice example.

100% correct, it happened in October 2014, it still says on the little slips you get when you sell a car something like “did you know since October 2014 tax is no longer transferable” as DVLA think we might all still be living under a rock the past 10 years.

I kept expecting a snotty letter telling me to insure it but no, almost a year on.
It appears you can tax a historic car for a year (for free), never have it insured and never get a dvla letter asking it to be insured. They do still send a reminder though, so the current owner has almost certainly got a reminder through and just went online or to a post office and taxed it for free.

Petrolize reacted to Peter C in 1987 Ford Sierra Sapphire 1.8L - Earning its keep - see page 28 January 27

Just received confirmation email from the DVLA that the car is mine.
The seller has sent me one more photo.

The Sierra may start its journey tomorrow instead of Monday, details to be confirmed tomorrow morning.
Excitement level is high.

I keep looking longingly at that one but being in Ireland the logistics are a bit out the window
