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

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

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1390853538151784/

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

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

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1509117983225504/

Mega rare Opel Astra with the 1.2 powerhouse

Meets my minimum brown content requirements with ease

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:

Quote

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.

That was on eBay the other day, only made £1,040.  I was tempted but I have no time to get to Shropshire and back in the foreseeable so had to pass.

This  a car which is never going to appear in my list of favourite cars.

But I have to say this one does look in good condition. For only 1500€ you can have a Talbot HorizonGLS.

Peugeot 406 Coupe. Only 1500€. Looks like some damage to the front bumper.

How about a Opel Calibra  form 1991? 2700€

Someone can say if this is a correct engine to have.

Always been in the same family. Been off the road for 3 years. Abs and  air conditioning that does not work. Plus power steering, on board computer, electric mirrors, electric windows. There is part of a two hitch too.
