EBay Finds

Funeral vehicles are MOT exempted too.,

Funny how one of the hearses (R700 CCM - numberplate obfuscation award) has a whole back catalogue of MOT tests then.

Is it exempted by use or did the concession get knocked on the head years ago??

Just gone through the current V112 form but I can't find it, there was definitely a category it came under previously.

Mibbie in back in nineteen-canteen? I've no idea.

Only suggestion is if the exemption is by use rather than vehicle type - like plod.

[DodgeRover]

Could be I know it was only valid if in use for that trade

Isn't there an exemption dating back to seventeen hundred & frozen to death that hearses can ignore traffic lights too? I think it was due to a small pox outbreak?

I've got a friend who's an undertaker and he says funeral cars aren't MOT exempt. In fact, new lims and hearses are a pain to MOT as the stretching process makes the CANBUS wiring through a shit fit.

Aye I bet it fucks up canbus, I've known people have major issues just from dodgy multiplugs let alone new sections.

I messaged him on FB about them.

I remember seeing footage of IRA terrorist funerals in the mid 80s and they were still using Austin A135/Princess?Sheerline hearses.

Aye. In Get Carter it was pre-war Rolls Royces with impressive cylinder bore wear.
