Thank God for that, it's only a 440. If it was a 460 I'd have been screwed.

Sceasick with fucked interior, nasty bodywork and million miles. Mmmm, appealing.If they'd left the lights and stuff I was quite fancying running a cut price emergency service. As they haven't though it looks fit for landfill and not much else.

Ooh, that's nice. Pretty sure I saw a tidy one of them locally the other evening (it was dark, but definitely a high-spec Carina II saloon). If my Bluebird suddenly sold I'd be very tempted by that myself...Edit: Shame about the rear door cards in it. What happened there?!It was first registered on my 21st birthday.

It could be reclaimed, but it depends how it's been 'sent off to DVLA'. I'm assuming the seller is a scrapyard - if he's got it via scrappage then it's Cat B and can't be returned to road. If it's just a drive-in breaker then yeah, the DVLA can do a VIC and get it back on the road, same as any other 'scrapped' car. To the DVLA, the 'scrapped' marker just means that they're not going to hassle anyone for SORN/Tax. It's still on the system, they still have the details, and if they're happy that you're not pulling a fast one they can unscrap it. It's not straightforward though, you'll need to speak to actual humans at the doovla.First step would be to buy the car and put it somewhere safe, since the process can take a while.

Oooh, liking that. A lot. Though personally, I'd get some less ridiculous wheels and paint it beige.

It's not as hard as you think, scrappage apart. One of our Mk1s was 'scrapped' before we bought her, without a V5. I applied, waited and waited, and eventually argued the toss with the DVLA and they sent out the V5, no VIC check needed.

Please note it will be sold with correct black grille NOT the one in the photos

which is a shame as I quite like it as it is
That chap has an excellent load of photographs on Flickr, I saw on there that he was probably going to put the van up for sale. He's got (and has had) some other interesting cars too, like a Citroen GS and an Avenger.

Does the classification still apply when it falls in to private hands? Crazy if it does!

Any ambulance remains on the ambulance tax bracket until the DVLA is told otherwise, just the same as any other tax class. The last taxation class change I did was from Disabled to PLG, and I did that at the DVLA itself, as I was giving them money as opposed to getting tax for free I suppose they were happy to make the change, so it's probably the same with ambulance to PLG. Why would you want to though? :lol:You can tell it's still tax exempt (free) as there is no fee given for the road tax when you look up the reg on the DVLA website.

Liking it too,I'd fit some 15 inch steels & paint it matt black.I'd also fit the leopard print seat covers I had in my last matt black Cortina(Mk 5 2.3 2-door 8) )

How hard is it to get a vehicle onto Ambulance class? If I went out, bought a ratty old Freight Rover, painted "PARALETIC" on the side and stuck a blue lampshade on top with a 20W bulb in it, would the DVLA be happy just to give me a free taxdisc? Or do you need to do all that tedious medical training and wear the OMG ANNEKA RICE jumpsuit?

 

As for the unscrapping of cars, the DVLA state that it should need a VIC, but as usual they're too busy* to do their job properly so often just skip that bit. I've heard of a few Cat Cs being returned to the road without a VIC too, again on the doovla website it says that it's a requirement. I think they only do it if they think something is suss - if you're returning a written off tax exempt Mk2 Mexico to the road they might want to check it out for the number that go 'missing', but for something more normal - meh.

I was told recently (by a private paramedic) it's ridiculously easy to get the ambulance class, or at least it was when he tried it (in Lincolnshire) on a Laguna and a berlingo van. He applied, took the vehicle to the DVLA, they checked the VIN number and the vehicle in front of them against their records, and he got his classification and tax disc. I have to point out (and even he was surprised by this) that although he is qualified to drive and ambulance (medically and advanced driving) he did not need to show any qualifications, even though he had them with him. All he did to the vehicles is fit blue lights and signage, and the van wasn't even finished at the time, inside it didn't even have a stretcher just some extra storage. Both vehicles were PLG taxed and tested at the time of re classification.
