You know those liquorice torpedo sweets, like little different coloured bullets? Well, I'd rather buy 2 kilograms of them, put them in the microwave on full chat for 6 minutes, then funnel the molten remains right up my council gritter than been seen in that pile of bollocks.

One owner which is unusual.

It is a pity it is not older by 2-3 years as at the moment it is neither ULEZ compliant - (it is in the zone) nor MoT and Tax exempt. Worth squirreling away until until it is. 

I agree with you. In 2026, this will surely be a truly fantastic shabby daily motor for a Londoner. I hope it makes it and isn't dismantled or scrapped in the meantime

Yes. Not me alas - it just needs tucking up. There are less and less of them about - but a perfect London 'smoker' with the auto - and these, I think, were the best screwed together ones.

Putting Trotters stickers on must have increased the value by £3900!

I have seen some terrible Delboy "replicas" but that's up there with the worst

Jesus fucking Christ, those harnesses on those seats are a good way to turn a minor accident into permanent paralysis. Utterly, unbelievably stupid 

Can you explain ?

What's the script with all that ULEZ caper, then? If you have a car parked on your drive or out on the street and taxed/tested/insured but don't actually drive it, do you still have to pay the daily charges if you're inside the zone?

You don’t pay unless it moves a triggers a camera. So you can move a few streets if there are no cameras about.

It's hard to find the right AS-approved Standard 8/10 spec. They are typically either basket cases, pineappled (cos rally car), or over-restored. Original condition runners and drivers and kind of rare.

I guess this is about right, but £4k for a bootless wonder

Going through a bit of a phase are we?

I'd have one but I would have to put a 1300 in it. Not necessarily the full Spitfire spec TC as I have in my Triumph but the standard 1300/Herald. Technically less power but the power comes in lower down. Practically indistinguishable from the original 803cc from the outside but double the power. I believe a herald disc brake conversion is fairly simple too. 

The rest I would leave completely original and hopefully slightly careworn. It would then be a perfectly usable daily driver. Perfect for trips to London.

 Parked up is fine on street. But move it any distance you will get caught on a camera and fined if you have not paid within the prescribed time.

Cameras are everywhere - you can't get far.

City Hall spent £150M setting this up, just to catch a few old vans and older diesel cars that would disappear off the road anyway... most petrol cars after year 2001 are not covered. Part of the financial modelling was to recoup this 150M cost...from charges and fines!

Getting caught just gives them money. I think revenues are much lower than they though anyway so the whole thing is enforced hard.

The expansion is though to cost £200M.

The whole shebang is run for profit by Capita for City Hall so somebody also makes a profit out of you.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita

The usual money-rinsing operation so common in the UK.  'Your motoring is their concern' kerching.

They will be bound to increase the price - I would expect they will extend the years of cars charged too.

Meanwhile across London stabbings and shootings continue daily...

I wish!  My 2007 diesel car is liable, in fact most diesels pre-2015 are.

Thanks. You are right. I've amended the comment. I meant petrol cars. Ta!

Yeah, I like the utter austerity of 'em, and not being a Minor (nothing against MM's at all, just always rooting for the underdog). I could definitely potter around the Bay in one while doing the grease points every month*.

Scrap it, more like. That horrific £200 'private plate' isn't even included.

I think the fact that it’s not even on straight just adds to the look. 😂

If I have it right the harness over the shoulder should be horizontal. The way they have it compresses your spine in an accident

Have we had this Renault 25 yet? Looks nicer with the facelift imo. I used to associate big executive cars like this with high insurance premiums. But then it dawns on me that I'm in my 40s now.

I'm a little tempted by it as it's 30 miles away from my locale.
