wuvvum Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Or beam deflectors. The Innocenti has been passing MOTs for years with beam deflectors fitted. Having said that, the headlights on that post van look a fairly standard shape so shouldn't be too hard to find some left-dipping equivalents.

I’m fairly sure that dent will push/pull out and then you could just blend the paint. Assuming you didn’t just prefer the Joseph look, of course.

BorniteIdentity Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 This looks GLORIOUS. Obviously shipping one in yourself is way, way more fun - but for those of us who like to lead simpler lives perhaps it's not so bad just buying one that's already here? The wheels look a bit good, and the hole in the roof probably needs attention, otherwise I'm not sure I'd be doing much at all.

I always thought the Alpines and Horizons were the underdogs re value and desirability though when compared to Sunbeams. I'd guess he'd still struggle to net £600 with 99% of the general public and the fact it's a scruffbag with no MOT. Happy to be proven wrong though. MOT history is interesting reading... it looks as though it was fired up and driven for MOT each year for many years and then sat for the following twelve months.
