Looks alright to me but I don't understand why he put his (they match his eBay name) private plates on a car he bought to break?

I have turned it over regularly and driven it around the block a few times and just recently 20 miles or so into Dundee and it runs perfectly.

It is not taxed nor MoT'd and is currently Sorned

intending to use the engine, gearbox, and some of the interior in a kit car ............all of the seats except the driver's have been removed

I think the car is too good to break

You have a good point, I was thinking that as I was reading, however with an address like, The Glens of Kirriemuir, does it sound like the type of place you would get caught. ;D ;D ;D

I've got this picture in my mind of a Striker with a 2.5TD, auto box and elite leather interior. ;D

The Glens of Kirriemuir is similar to me saying that I'm from the Kingdom of Fife....   ;)

Also, for those not in the know, it is the birthplace of the author of Peter Pan...

Car looks OK, just not sure of the reason for purchase in the first place....    :-/
