now for those that didn't know any vehicle that is now 40 years or older do not require an MOT


I tested a 2015 car on Monday, 1st test, 7300 miles and like new, it needed an mot to be legal but a 40+ year old Mini that is rustier than the Titanic is exempt, makes perfect sense

since the rule came out there has being hundreds of cars dragged out of sheds and garages and simple put back on the road with out any checks or knowingly in a dangerous condition all because some numpty somewhere thinks that ALL classic cars and looked after and kept in perfect condition , this car had cardboard and underseal covering the rot then stuck on ebay
Have a look back through the owner history, I think you might find the name F. Flintstone somewhere in there.

Looks nice in the first pic. Just shows what can lurk underneath. So many bodged classics around now. Silly prices have really incentivised the bodgers and not just on cheap models. For some reason people think a glamourous 45 year old Merc has better rust resistance than a 45 Mini but not ime. Don't start me on E-types.

Apparently David deleted the photos from October 2018 for some reason.
