Re: Another Triumph based Roadster on eBay.

I notice someone has left a tyre on the passenger and marked the vynil. I did this once with my boat and managed to remove the, very similar, colouring off the seat. I didn't manage to remove the mark though

Re: Another Triumph based Roadster on eBay.
If a 72 doesn't need an MOT or Tax it could be taxed as a Triumph sports. It is a Triumph engine and chassis with a sports body no? I still wouldn't fancy arguing the toss with a knowledgeable plod, and there are some!Comment

Re: Another Triumph based Roadster on eBay.
If you know a car that doesnt need an MOT go on the gov website type in it reg, it will come up as no MOT in red, their is a link to check out the rules for no MOT extensively modified cars still require an MOT according to these rules. The question is is it worth the fine? or even the car being taken away?Originally posted by dogoncrazy View PostComment

Re: Another Triumph based Roadster on eBay.
In my opinion I think the no MOT rule is ridiculous.
My car will be exempt next year.
I know that the test is only valid on that day and they don't test everything but it would, at least, remind me to check all those things you would normally check prior to the MOT.
What may look from the outside to be ok may not be the case and to have a second set of eyes is always a good idea.
For me, I will be having an MOT each year.

Owners may voluntarily put their car through an MOT even if exempt.

Re: Another Triumph based Roadster on eBay.
Steve & Adrian,
Agree entirely .. but will the MOT test still accommodate older cars ? As if old cars don't "normally" require a test, will DVLA eventually drop the current concessions (like emissions) made to old cars in the test itself .. purely to save money & simplify the regulations ?
Not that I'm paranoid !!
