It's for an old classic car, they might get upset if I call them out for a car with no tax or test!  :-?

Try Ebay, there's quite a few on there that only charge £1 per mile one way which is cheap.

That trailer is ok for small cars, but does not look strong enough to carry an Omega, think you need a double axle one.  :y

That one was a very late 59 car and no longer mine. It was an 804cc so the only way it hit 70 was on the trailer ;D ;D

It was built purely for Morris Minors, although had a saxo on it and took a chavalier (minus it's engine and interior) to be weighed in :y

Had to pop over to IE7 to have a look!  Lovely looking beastie. I used to have the van ( ex water board) .... just the right size for a matress in the back .... not that that is what I got her for -- she used to carry my mobile disc around (in those days they didn't fit into a briefcase !!!!). She might have been old and basic, but she practically drove herself ( just as well on some evenings !!! )

I drive passed the burnt out remains of a convertable Moggy on my way to work :(. Presumably the work of bored local louts.  >:(

Is the VRN still visible Andy? If not could I point you to where the chassis number is and ask you to make a note for me please? I can get it checked to see if it's been nicked :y

It's on the forecourt of a workshop/garage. It was OK when I first used to drive passed.

edit .... i don't know why the link keeps moving position. The garage is on Haigh Rd, just up from the double roundabout
