You'd probably get a cheaper one from the USA after paying the extra S&H as well! I like how he's listed it for a 240 and a 260 - it will work in one but not the other so what was it from? The 240 was a 4 cylinder, the 260 a 6 cylinder so the tacho will be wrong in the wrong car! PS - just to finish the saga of the unobtainium metal above, i found a solid piece of an old SD1 bonnet, 1.2mm thick and big enough to make the patches i need - the second patch isn't necessary for the pass but may as well do it as he queried it.

That is good news Dave - it just proves that one should hardly ever throw things away :-)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194384085....c101110.m1982 ... 1987 (so only 7 years to becoming an historic vehicle if that interests you), GLT, 126,000 miles, has been recommissioned (quite well according to the write up), a couple of small jobs to do (you will need something to do on a 30-odd year old motor car), well under 5 grand. It looks really nice... I can't see much not to like. Alan

Buyers, MOT and prices Straight talking comments by for example members in this thread, illustrate the importance to buyers of a searchable record of MOTs. The importance to buyers of independent objective testing. Let owners with exempt vehicles consider having their cars regularly tested in case they come to sell. Historic status might become increasingly a problem when selling, and a price reduction issue if there is no good MOT history. Folding money and walk away. Safety and MOT Posts in the forum illustrate the approach to maintenance and inspection by even some expert members. Independent objective inspection is a good thing. The requirement for self certification of historic status cars underline the owners responsibility as to road worthiness. Not one iota less. Prices and Historic Status What view will buyers in future take of MOT exempt cars that have not been tested or otherwise independently inspected? What will their loved ones say about buying an old car on that basis? Will insurers begin to ask questions re this issue? I wonder if claims data has begun to raise concerns? Tax Tax of cars must be under review generally. Especially as electric car numbers increase with their favourable tax status. Price as to usage is one possibility. Number plate recognition already raises money for tolls and other charges. These points must surely be food for thought. Stephen .
