Go figure.

No idea, I've only ever taken plates off more modern things that were on the road

It really is a useful little car, it's got me wanting a better one

MOTs by phone and tax it, never bother making an appointment if they ask to see if before the transfer at a guess.

Here have some more photos. It is now at my place with the rest of my cars It's now got a proper list on it that I don't remember being there! I did wonder why the doors catch on the top of the sills, having looked underneath it's been lifted badly with a fork lift truck Lots of rust And some great bodges. But I'm saving the best one for last

Is there any panel availability?

Old enough to declare MOT exempt? I'd assume you could plate rape it once that's done.

No, 1982.

No idea. At a guess, you can probably still get sills but nothing else. This car is too far gone anyway.

Engine bay photos please.

Haven't taken any, oddly! Will do tomorrow. In the meantime, have a look at the badge. It's a lovely old thingOh and I found this period accessory inside And this tail light. Any idea what that is off? Free to anyone who wants it.
