I think it has to have one to get UK registered. They just do it on the VIN.

That's right. It can only be so cheap as it must have a massive list of rust advisories 😄

Trying to place those wheels on the Stanza, are they Mazda RX7 or Alfa 155?

Gotta love those beam pattern shades made out of insulation tape

It seems that these are acceptable to pass a MOT. Other European countries this is not . So a RHD imported and tested would have to have the headlights converted to dip with the correct patten. Makes it expensive to import.

I understand that (some) newer cars have a built in beam deflector.

This doesn't look badly priced even though it doesn't run. I like how someone has fitted huge giffer dent stoppers down the side of it. 

I hear they're nightmare to getting running. Still you can always just look at it.

Yank spec, rusty engine bits, seats split, auto, wiring mess, weird ride height and horrible wheel colour. Still would.

You now have the chance to buy a certified cockroach of the road, a last year Buick Century that will survive anyone and anything. Aparently only 1200 quid with full MOT for the last car you'd ever need to buy:

Not without piss poor UK mods tho:

However, BENCHSEAT:

A £2.5K engine rebuild. Somewhere someone must have loved that car...

You think that's good... the 1978 Daimler Sovereign I bought for a whole hundred quid in 2002 had a bill for an entire brand new engine only a few years earlier, at the wrong side of 4K!  Somebody really loved that car!  (To be fair, I did, I just couldn't afford to keep it and a 3.8 litre Buick Century at the same time, and Detroit always wins.)

Vintage Bedford TM. Straw chaser. Agricultural exemption. Camper. | eBay

 

'In the old days that meant that you could run her on red diesel for Ag work with no road tax, no MOT, cheap insurance. I presume that is still the case.'

 

Can see the drive home going well as you pass the VOSA camp.

I remember when the scouts were all about helping old ladies across the road, going camping with a load of turbo nonces single men in their 40s, making bonfires and tying knots. Now, it would appear, you have to eat a tortoise as one of your challenges.

Yeah, I know for a fact that leaks like a sieve, that's why it's kept under a tarp. The gutters will be rotten and letting water in and the screen seal won't be doing it's job. It's a shame as otherwise they're fairly tough old things and easy to work on.

What I'm wondering more about is how they ruined it in the first place. Ran it without oil for 100 miles?

Defo 'FB' RX-7, when it went over to 4 x 114.3mm rather than 4 x 110.
