GOOD NEWS !!!
(For once)

After a chat with my brother today I've "Discovered that there may be a way that I can M.o.T her".

<wink, wink>

<nudge, nudge>

Anyway, I should know tomorrow, but that could mean doing everything to her fully legal and Insured - Which is impossible without M.o.T/Registration.
(She's still on U.S Plates)

It also means I can drive her - Legally.

Well. Just got the phone call.

There's no problem with me taking her down to get her an M.o.T.

I Should be able to get something sorted before christmas AND it should only cost £10.

How can you get an MOT without the car being UK registered?

They MOT it on the Chassis number

You need the MOT to ssay its roadworthy before you can register it

Didn't you say that you (attempted to) enter it three times then the Computer asks if you want to create a new record

Roadkill · « **Reply #35 on:** December 14, 2005, 05:59:32 am »

Made the call today.

It's booked in for around 4pm on Friday.

Fingers crossed on the weather, though.

It's not a pleasant drive across town.

Christ !!!

Been ages since I updated this.

O.K.

The Cadillac is now M.o.T'ed.
She is now insured - Fully Comp.
All registration forms have been completed and all required info gathered.

IF all goes to plan, I'll be heading to Northampton later today to get her registered.

Her new Reg number will take a few days to come through (with the tax disc).

Sooooooooo close.

Just phoned the DVLA - Reg. fee is £38.00 + Road Tax (free

)

Nice one

Roadkill · « **Reply #40 on:** January 13, 2006, 04:16:51 pm »

All done !!!

Went down the DVLA last night and handed in the forms . . . .

With a bit of luck I'll get the tax disc ie. the new reg. in 3-4 days.

I could really do with the petrol gauge fixing - then it would see a few more miles . . . .

Now 100% legal.

Graeme, Is there any details Andy needs to put together this engine kit for the Caddy

Also any details of remote oil filter kits would be handy.

I thought he sent you an email with the price and contents? all you need to do is call him up and discuss the finer points with him like the cam and remote filter

Ah, yeah, then my Computer back-flipped and I lost the lot.

O.K.

I'm thinking of purchasing a (shiney) new alternator to replace the Knackered Gen on the Cadillac.

What should I be looking for

It'll need to run the (eventual) Air-ride etc . . . .

I Think I saw Finlay had some . . . . . . .

Seemed a pretty good site, not sure if it covers cars that old, but you never know.
