Remspoor Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 8 hours ago, UltraWomble said: So, 28mph for your Sans Permis. Same as a 50cc moped. I rather suspect that this would be the definition of slow moving vehicle, and yet there is no minimum speed limit, after all no one goes around handing out fines when you are stuck in a slow moving queue on the M6. I imagine its relative, in normal running conditions where the likely slowest moving vehicle will be between 45 and 50 and most travelling faster than that, that something going 28mph or less would be dangerous. You could always pootle up and down your local motorway in one and see how long it takes to get a pull from Traffic or end up being hosed off the wheels of a 36 tonner. My local motorway is called an Autovía . The regulations for these are clear. https://www.motorpasion.com/otros/guia-sobre-los-coches-sin-carnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know it's a truly awful idea. But if it's less than scrap value.... It's on the Rover 200 forum, nowt to say it's sold yet. I can give them a PM and ask for contact details if you like?

I think £1 a mile is normally pretty cheap these days? So at least £300 ish just to get it here Thank you though for the kind offer of asking for details, but I'm 'oot i think it would be a bit of a pisstake to "pre-book an MOT M9" davehedgehog31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there's a crack it doesn't really matter how big it is! TLDR; it's done the head in Bottle of Steel Seal and chuck it back up on Bumtree double your money!!

Looks okay for the price but there's probably still plenty of hidden grot. Likely weldathon in 2020 looking at history. This one went for £1420 today & my seasoned XJ-S snout reckons it's not too far from an MOT. I was almost tempted to put in a cheeky bid. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/jaguar-xjs-5-3-v12-/275433509219?nma=true&si=Ce%2FIulAszSs2gCh93I8nIUWDaN0%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 wuvvum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
