  1. Last tested in July 2019 at a mere 313k.
  2. My renewal came through at a 50% increase. I spent an evening on comparison sites and confirmed that the renewal was very close to the cheapest price (which was with a company I've never heard of). I called to accept the renewal providing they could move a little bit on the price (a fiver would have done for me). They lopped a decent chunk off so I've finished up with a 21% increase on last year (which is about £30). I can cope with that.
  3. I took mine to a place near Edinburgh to get the bores done. They turned it around in a day. I stuck it in the boot of my 2cv and certainly knew I had some weight on board but did there and back (to Lincolnshire) in a (very long) day.
  4. That rev counter thing is almost normal when a Xantia is jump started. It's really not difficult to whip the instruments out, pop the front off, flick the needle back, and all will be fine.
  5. That's been running around the Grimsby area forever. It used to be brush painted in brown gloss. Ruddy marvellous.
  6. (...and the chassis is built by Yorkshire's very own Ken Hanna)
  7. https://2cvgarage.nl/en/ev-chassis/ This is a much more complete idea with the bulk of the battery built into the chassis nice and low down. There's talk of a 250km range which is useful enough and 80mph, Dread to think of the price though.
