Re: fancy this chaps?

Re: fancy this chaps?
In order to justify the prices, aren't they all required to have MoT equivalents when sold though? I mean, that Granada is never going to pass a test in that state.
…that's why Allegro will look as good 5 years from now as it does today.

Re: fancy this chaps?
you can still buy cars without the ct (mot) but usually they are sold with a new one.. besides with a bit of a wash that granny should pass
Re: fancy this chaps?
No way, Rich. Not when THIS can be bought - from one time PC editor and pukka used motor trader Peter Simpson - for quite a lot less cash.
I would have posted one of the listing images as the link like I usually do, but was thinking of your increased risk of having a heart attack if faced with a bright red one like that.

Re: fancy this chaps?
I know, it's perfect as a mini alternative but far too pristine to use, even every other day. Besides, decent, solid ones with good clutches (the reverse clutch is always the first thing to let go in that otherwise remarkably good CVT), an interior that doesn't look like someone broke in & squatted in it for a decade and plenty of life left in them can still be found through the yellow papers and the Gazette classifieds at around £500. The Simpson one would be good for the Concours d'état brigade though.
