I think mobile cranes are exempt from MOT tests which may have been relevant back when it was on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the current 'cost of living crisis' and the 'affordability checks' on new loans/mortgages it would appear that credit is easily available for virtually anything. Currently watching sprog #2 digging a large, dark financial hole and, this time, no bank of grown ups to help (I mean when you're in your thirties it must be just about time to stand on your own two feet?). One of the contributors to said hole is a PCP agreement funnily enough - like you asked awhile back, is any new car sold outright these days?

The 3.2 petrol has permanent 4WD and has a lot of grunt - weirdly though it only had a 2.3 (or maybe 2.6) tonne towing capacity on the plate - probably because they used the 4 cyl petrol or a diesel for the proving tests? Lot of parts match with early Rexton so it's not that bad to keep running - if you can live with the fuel consumption Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
