Anyone who buys that and fucks about with shit wheels, head light trims and stickers should be kneecapped with the roof rack.

A kneecapping would not be enough!

I guess he either hasn't had a V5 for it or there's something slightly wrong there. It was taxed until May 1993 so presumably being used as of May 1992 at the earliest

Last V5 issued September 1991

He's saying he's had since 1988 (if my maths are any good) so he possibly does have the log book somewhere.

Yeah, but he also says he bought it as a non-runner with no MOT and presumably it was running and with MOT until 1992-1993 if someone was still taxing it

Skoda Superior Estate 1.8 TSI SE 5dr Automatic - REPAIR OR SPARES

s-l960.thumb.webp.43e91ef369686d8b4a5f8fd910fc978a.webp

Shit load spent on that engine but...

The clutch and magnatronic unit have failed, so it has to be towed away.

Someone the other side of town had two in his garden, one was in use most days but both seem to have gone now.

We didn't get these in K reg, did we?

No, they were available in 1994 only I think - so L and M reg. Some are in great condition (like below), a few projects, and some like these never coming back. I'm sure someone must have a register. I try not to follow them too closely, as I don't want to get sucked into to trying to get one 😆

Some real gems around at the moment, if you're handy with a spanner.Wish I wasn't such an inept mechanic so I could afford to buy something good.

Want an American muscle car coupe? Step this way!

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen, actually

3.6-litre V6. Off the road for 20 years but looks pretty good to me. £2750 which sounds like a mega barg

I've been seriously looking at MGBs recently (I'm approaching middle-age, sue me) and this looks like a belter tbh

347385133_2041333339561198_3076877702858

It's all sorts of brown, but it's also in the arse-end of Wales. Off the road for 20 years again, but does look fundamentally sound, honest and appealing. £2750 again, which doesn't get you much in the MG world these days

Mega rare Opel Astra with the 1.2 powerhouse

357739732_10209879810989540_896560652508

Meets my minimum brown content requirements with ease

357528295_10209879801309298_369231046569

Failed its MoT on some welding (doesn't sound too serious looking at the test) but it's from 1983 so SOD MOT and be dammed. Inexplicably only £1250 which seems aight for a genuine slice of extinct street furniture

As far as I can see in this pictures it seems quite rotten or previously repaired in the usual places unfortunately (under the headlamps/indicators, the wings, sills, rear arches). This one is especially worrying, my own 1.2 failed on rot there and after a bit of poking most of the footwell turned out to be toast:

Nearside Front Lower Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength suspension arm (5.3.6 (a) (i))

Also, this may put me at risk of sounding like an ignorant foreigner, but were rear seat belts already mandatory in Britain in 1983? 

Quote
  • Nearside Rear Seat belt missing (7.1.2 (a))
  • Offside Rear Seat belt missing (7.1.2 (a))

It doesn't look like it had seat belts originally:

No they weren’t.  I had to specify them as an extra on my new  (company car) Cavalier in 1984. When it was replaced in 1986 rear belts were mandatory on new vehicles, so I didn’t have to ask for them to be fitted.

Wearing  rear belts was not mandatory until 1991.

you’re right. They didn’t become mandatory until 1991

EDIT: seat belt wearing.

The above post is correct. 1986 for actually having them.

I wonder if that was the reason for the retest 4 days later as it’s the only thing that’s different.

Also tester is a clown. It’s obvious the car has been round the clock.
