Nope. I've been looking at that one and off the last few times it's been for sale, and it does keep getting closer and closer, but I don't have the mental strength let alone the money to invest* in that, as nice as it could potentially be

I've always wondered this.
If someone has a car repossessed and someone applies for the V5 using a V62k, if I remember, it sends a letter to the previous holder of the V5 asking them if there is any reason why a new V5 shouldn't be divvied out.

What if they say "No, I don't agree"?

I don't know, but items sold at auction are usually free and clear of previous liens etc so I suspect if you proved to the doovla that's how you bought it, you'd be ok.

The gearbox details sound like exactly the experience that some of the earliest adopters experienced. Very authentic!

Even the spare tyre is rusty.

Oh my. I need a sit down. That's a fine if very rusty piece of Italian auto art. Great shame it's lost its history, as a RHD it will have a tale to tell. IIRC Breadvan had one of these briefly, although that might have been after he departed these brown pages. 

Edit to add; someone's got a bargain at 560 beer tokens. Only the same again in MIG wire needed. 🤣

It is slammed rat look yo!. It even has a roof rack and patina, just needs a pineapple.
The  seats look too new, I am no ADO expert but the seats look out of a seventies car. I love the colour though.

Correct; seats and door cards are from a mk3 (71 onwards).  Plus, mk1 front panel but mk2/3 rear wings, mk2 Morris dash and mk3 rear bumper.  Safe to say it's had an interesting life, but even as an ado16 apologist I'd say it may be time to put it out of its misery now!

IIRC there was even special dispensation in the MOT emissions test for them because they were all pretty much unable to meet the emissions standard they were sold with. Fuel control with any carb is nowhere near good enough to not knacker a cat pretty quickly.
