Could be worth the cost you never know ............. to sell without a mot you would only get scrap money.

Wow.
 
What a bummer.
 
Commiserations.

if you can get the areas welded try that and see. also try another garage like you say.  where i live we have government run centers and i heard on the radio one day about a person taking a car in to be failed on something, they bring the car to another center and the car passes with nothing done to it.

the whole lots a laugh. but get a second opinion from a mechanic and you\'d need to give the carbon a good blow out of the engine. i used cataclean which cleans the cat on a car, if you still have it on. look it up on ebay as people sell it on there.

Don\'t forget 1st gens first used before 1st August 1987 don\'t need to be tested for emissions, it\'s a visual check for smoke only...

Right! It is with some regret that the car is now on eBay.

Though I do not for a second regret buying the car as it was fantastic fun, the best road trip I have ever done. Land\'s End to Stornoway!
 
I had sorted the handbrake, booked another MOT (with visual smoke test ) but after getting right underneath the car, I can pretty much get my hand into the front offside chassis rail. The MOT man was right about some of the rust!
 
Its always sad to see a rare car go, but it is beyond my skills to save the car, so it is for spares/repair. For a \'breaker\' this is going to be an absolute bargain. It has new front tyres, new front brakes, good engine, etc etc and loads more!
 
Maybe I will see one of you shortly
