You give links to road signs. Again they do not prove anything. The B&W is form the Preston Bypass. This is very old and out of date sign.

The colour one is from a fictional motorway, again it does not prove anything.

The highway code is very vague too.
I wonder what is is covered by certain slow-moving vehicles? How slow is slow. There is no min speed limit.

Cars like that French one are in the same class as say the new Ami.

Quote

The speed limit for all licence-free cars is 45 km/h, regardless of the make, for a power of 6 kW (8.15 HP)

So, 28mph for your Sans Permis.
Same as a 50cc moped.
I rather suspect that this would be the definition of slow moving vehicle, and yet there is no minimum speed limit, after all no one goes around handing out fines when you are stuck in a slow moving queue on the M6. I imagine its relative, in normal running conditions where the likely slowest moving vehicle will be between 45 and 50 and most travelling faster than that, that something going 28mph or less would be dangerous.

You could always pootle up and down your local motorway in one and see how long it takes to get a pull from Traffic or end up being hosed off the wheels of a 36 tonner.

I bet there isn't a more satisfying thing to do (except petrol bomb an Iveco) to a motor than jet wash, clean and polish this

You might have to take it a little bit easy with the jet wash mind, otherwise it'll end up looking like this.

Asking for a friend... 

Any indication of price/location on the ad at all? 

Yes, I know it's a truly awful idea. But if it's less than scrap value....

My local motorway is called an Autovía . The regulations for these are clear.

Thank you. That would be a nearly 300 mile trip one way, I think the cost of transportation would make it not worthwhile. I think £1 a mile is normally pretty cheap these days? So at least £300 ish just to get it here

Thank you though for the kind offer of asking for details, but I'm 'oot :(

i think it would be a bit of a pisstake to "pre-book an MOT M9" ;)

I like how they say "slight crack in head gasket" 

Erm- how would you know for sure without pulling the head off? And if there's a crack it doesn't really matter how big it is! 

TLDR; it's done the head in 

Bottle of Steel Seal and chuck it back up on Bumtree double your money!!

Nice XJS with recent engine rebuild. I know you used to get these for pennys but I don't think this price is totally unreasonable.

It doesn’t look a bad price, it’s clearly not fell into the hands of some absolute fool as it’s not got the obligatory chrome arches and Irish plate.

No problem man. 

Yeah, £300 on transport would make it a bit uneconomical! 

It would be a very satisfying thing to get back on the road, hopefully someone does!

I love these, the large family next door to me when I was a kid had loads of them that inevitably died and another slightly less rusty was procured.  There's one in my profile picture.  

I could relive my youth for HFM?

My father is selling his vauxhall VX1800 and has asked to post to this site for him. He bought this car last year from a gentleman in airdrie and its been his daily use car since then. He is selling as he has just purchased the wolseley.
