latest finds

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

That Fiat doesn't look bad, but it would be a brave person who took on the Isettas :)

No Ta, I've just put the last one out..... literally.

There was one on the last site I worked on that burst into flames one night. It was parked out back of a shed load of Romanians (a la Auf Wiedesehen Pet) and we reckon one of them had been smoking (against regulations) by the window and just lobbed his butt out.

Yes, it says it's right hand drive and doesn't have the certificate of conformity to be used in France, but is legal for use in England.

WHS ^^^^, but you would, to be totally legal need MOT and tax from UK. I would doubt this has it. So you would be taking a risk....
Lots of folks live in France and drive UK reg cars for years and years for some reason without correct paperwork. You could buy this, or another, get it home and apply for tax to 'Mr DVLA' who will say, " ang on mate this car has not been taxed for X years where's it been and you owe X years in back tax before we will issue a new disc".
Sorry to be doom an gloom, but they are starting to clamp down on this , as are the French authorities slowly catching up with those that live here but do not re-register their cars.

If only the UK gov would do that over here with the people who use European registered cars but live here all the time.
