Nope.

But, please realise that this car hasn't got tax on it. I put it on Sorn at the end of June when the tax ran out because I've already got a car of my own and I wasn't going to insure it. No insurance, you can't tax it.

The MOT has just or is about to expire so it'll need putting through the test. Although the car has a few cosmetic scrapes, as described above, my son kept on top of the mechanical servicing and it starts first time, drives really nicely, had all the brakes done last year and I can't see it being a major problem getting another ticket on it. No guarantees of course.

Like I said, the easiest thing for me to do would be to call in the scrappers because they've already offered me £50, but I think it would be a real shame to scrap the car cos mechanically speaking I reckon it's easily got another 5 years in it. And if it hasn't, your scrap man will give you the £50 you paid for it.

So if somebody wants it for the same money that the scrap man will give me, all it's going to cost them is £50, the time and trouble to come and get it and whatever it takes to get an MOT, but I'd be genuinely surprised if it needed any more than the MOT fee paying to pass.

If I had the time to sort it, I would do it myself, 'cos with tax and 12 months MOT, and a bit of TLC I reckon it would be worth £4-500 of anybodies money, just don't have the time, got nowhere to keep it and my mum wants her garage back

Jools,
Just to let you know, the car ran like a dream.
When i got home siad to my 17 year son "Come and meet Skippy" He was absolutely gob-smacked.
He and his sister spent most of the afternoon looking at it and he kept saying I can't believe it and then gave it a wash and clean.
Please thank Sadie for picking me up and
Hopefully i'll get out and about at a DSC meet and thank you personally.
cheers
Dean
