Lack of MOT means transport needs to be arranged, I paid £150 just to get a granada from Newcastle to Carlisle.

That all bumps up the cost.

Im quite shocked i couldnt sell it complete, even without an mot

I only got it as i thought it would be a good help to another roadster builder and obviously make a small profit for myself

Its not all bad news though, i am stripping it saturday got a buyer for engine, gearbox, front uprights/brakes, full rear end, logbook and vin plates to enable them to get an age related plate

Then another buyer for the steering column and cowls

Then someone else possibly wants the master cylinder but waiting for them to confirm

Oh yeah and TT may want a couple of bits if they are any good

So the old girl will live on in a few different roadsters rather than going straight to the big scrapyard in the sky
