Lightly pineappled breadbin with HGF, but six months' MOT, low miles, and pretty straight. 

I know where this is from the pics, and it's not far away. I'll nab it if it's cheap, tow rope it home and fix it, as they're £silly when they work.

Also in a classic car, you're all too aware that a moderate sized accident that you'd survive in a modern, will leave you disabled or dead. 

As a close friend of mine discovered when his Riley Nine was hit from behind - he survived but his wife died.

I also struggle to equate "classic car" with something 40 years old - to me anyway, that's still "banger" territory.

I'd be much more worried about the thousands of people who drive modern cars without MoT, tax or insurance simply because they casn't be bothered/don't care about breaking the law

Oh dear my little ditty earlier seems to have caused some debate. 

Firstly, the likelihood of any car simply being pressed straight back into service after standing for more than even a few years is very low. Even ignoring basic safety items the amount of perishable rubber alone that would need addressing is a few days work minimum. 

If the brakes haven't been used in a while they'll soon start binding and you'll need to do them anyway plus in truth, if you drive something older than 1980 you're probably into cars and would do such things anyway as let's face it most mot exempt stuff now will have required some enthusiasm to be even still moving 40+ years on. 

 

As for the above quote only this week I was talking my beloved Chester out for his walk when a 17/18 plate tiguan thing tried to swing around outside my house and came to a clattering stop. She tried turning it over about 6 times to no avail. Went over to help and she said "it's OK, I've run out of diesel, but I can't get the steering lock or handbrake off"!!! 

She was trying to move it with the door open hence as MOD-REN cars do, the handbrake goes on automatically. 

I explained and pushed her across the road to safety when I noticed on the dash that it was 20k overdue a service, there was a brake malfunction, low pad warning light on and every tyre looked either bald or like they'd been on it for a number of years with bad tracking as the inside of one of the front was canvas. 

I dare say it's never been even for its 1st mot but it's already fucked, certainly dangerous with the tyres yet the likelihood of her being stopped unless doing something daft is pretty much zero. 

Try doing that in a 1980 mk3 escort and see how quick the filth pull you over.

LOVE the colour scheme going on here- maximum Tonka. 

It's a bit leggy but seems relatively cheap for one of the 4x4 ones... maybe @Jim Bell or @Aston Martin can tell me if this is major VALU or not

That does look stylish and impressive. Not sure on value. They seem to me bouncing around at the moment.

One day bidding on everything will come back and bite you 😆

I reckon it has a few times already. However, he still makes absolute comedy gold out of the situations.

 

I still remember the MG Midget (I think) that needed collected with a dustpan and brush.
