Westbay Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Well, "if beauty is in the eye of the beholder" .. should have gone to Specsavers ... lesapandre 1
goosey Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Just to clarify - I’d love to know more about the mechanical side of things not the superficial shit Westbay and lesapandre 1 1
N Dentressangle Posted April 6 Posted April 6 On 25/03/2025 at 09:47, RetroShite said: Take that up with the relevant body if it concerns you. Agreed. It's possible that the car would fall into the surprisingly long grace period that BL Rover enjoyed for some of their cars from the '92 emissions legislation anyway. There's a massive list of Range Rover Classics which are exempt, and Minis might also be too - BL had a huge amount of unsold stock sitting around at the time with old engines like the A series and RV8, and there was a lot of flexibility. My MoT tester wouldn't be too bothered about emissions on a car of this age.
RetroShite Posted April 10 Posted April 10 What a beast! Drive, lesapandre, wesacosa and 4 others 6 1

FWIW my Innocenti Mini (1993) is carb'd and that passes the emissions test with flying colours every year.

My N reg 1.4 astra with the inside of the cat removed, would almost pass emissions but not quite close enough. Had it been an M reg, it would have passed.
RetroShite Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Some fun to be had in this! Saabnut, Tenmil Socket, inconsistant and 3 others 6
RetroShite Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Another quality vehicle on for next week! Split_Pin, mk2_craig, lesapandre and 1 other 4
RetroShite Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Considering whether to do this one! outlaw118, Scruffy Bodger, Split_Pin and 5 others 8
RetroShite Posted May 13 Posted May 13 Some recent arrivals! The Mazda truck I already had on but the winner wasn't getting on with it and actually called the scrappy to see how much he'd get, they offered £100 so he sold it back to me instead. I really don't know why someone would even consider scrapping such a vehicle but his logic was it only cost him £11. The Subaru pickup I just got back having £4k worth of welding. yes oui si, Saabnut, Cookiesouwest and 7 others 10
mercedade Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Fahk me that's a lot of welding. Looks awesome, and the 405 is sweet
RetroShite Posted May 16 Posted May 16 The latest arrival! morrisoxide, scooobydont, Tenmil Socket and 12 others 15
