As mine needs putting into some sort of assembled state, i'll tax it when it's all in one piece. I reckon April to Sept for the best weather going on recent years

Thanks, yours too!

Mine is suffering of late, rust on the right rear arch and around the rear towing eye. Needs some money/time spend and unfortunately, am lacking the latter as such might have to go to a good home.

Has been mechanically brilliant - see my Euro Road Trip thread for my drive to Monaco, the Italian Lakes and Alps in it.
Ahhh I remember that thread, don't sell as you know that you will miss it.
Not driven it for the last few months but I'll see how I feel.

As mentioned above, it does need attention, but unfortunately, I don't have the time or space to attend to it. Would rather sell it to someone who can care for it rather than let it go down the banger route.

Took so long to change the dash last year while the weather was good that I hardly used it in the summer. So I retaxed it at the end of September then didn't use it in the winter either.

MOT in the next couple of weeks ready for taxing in April again. Might try to use it this year provide the weather is good.

At least I've got about 6 months worth of my 3000 miles on the insurance to use though so no worries about breaching that.
