my new 100e. project

[parastormtosser]

Just bought it and it's coming home Thursday...it's grey, not sure if it's a pop or what...it's got a flat chrome sheet grill,three speed box and manky sills...but it's lived inside majority of its life,one owner and 30000ish miles,not sure what to do,standard resto or bring it up to date,engine starts but only runs on choke and there's very little in the way of brakes,daughter fancies it as her 'prom' taxi' so I need to get it running,what's the mot situation and presumably I don't need tax...any body got any ideas on the brake situation,guess it's been stood for thirty years so guess it'll be full overhaul.

Must admit to buying a 'new'type 9 gearbox and a 105e axle and keep looking at Alan dents bits and bobs

your car build it to suit you then and only then will you be happy

Welcome to OSF.

 

As above, your car build it how you want it. Re tax and MOT, both are dependent on when it was first built / registered. You'll certainly be tax exempt, but you do need to get your taxation class on your V5c changed to historic vehicle and for the mean time will still need to apply for and display a disc, you just won't need to pay for it.

 

MOT exemption is for cars built prior to 1960. Even if you do qualify for this, I'd be inclined to get one done when you've finished the car. If only to give you some peace of mind.

I can't build it how I want it....I don't have the skill or talent or money...but I'll keep it simple and follow the normal path that everyone seems to follow..
