I will do, one day.
Might be old and grey by then, but I will get round to it at some point in the future. Yes

I fear you maybe right Meirion IF it was left outside...

But luckily I have it in a nice brand new garage sitting on carpet and covered with a nice cotton cover so it's all snug and ready for another harsh winter. Smile

It is also constantly hooked up to a battery optimiser and I also run a dehumidifier in the garage during the winter so it's kept in as best condition as possible. Smile

I do have to ask, do you intend to get it back on the road after a particular point due to circumstances, or do you just have no use for it?

Each time you discuss it, it's always emphasised as being one day/years to come rather than ASAP.

    ^^ This...Yes
    I have a van to use for everyday use and a bike to play with if I fancy a blast. I don't really have a need for it to be honest. Wink

    I will get it back on the road at some point, there is nothing wrong with it, it's all ready to go. I could go and start it and drive it today should I so desire, I just don't want to at the moment. We'll see what the next couple of years bring, might change my mind one day and fire her up. Smile

    So it's MOT'd still then?

    It did cross my mind why you haven't sold it if you have no use for it. But I suppose it's one of those things which the amount it would sell for wouldn't justify selling it.

    No

    What I meant was I could jump in it and drive it to an MOT station today if I wanted to, i.e. meaning it's perfectly driveable and ready to go versus a car that's sat there in bits. Wink

    I don't wish to sell it as I have put a lot of time, effort and money into it over the 8 years I've owned it and I'm sure I will get it back out one day and carry on enjoying it. At the moment, I am quite happy for it to sit there and await the day I decide it's time to re-MOT it and rip some tarmac up. Smile

    eBay for a quid or so

    If in an immediate rush - Anywhere that sells bolts like B&Q, Wilkinsons etc etc.

    I got M8 x 20 bolts from Pug as I was ordering a bunch of dealer stuff anyway. Prob cheaper to get them from other places though.

    Part no 6923 G6, M8 x 125 x 20mm

    Yep, bolt heads will be visible once strut brace fitted!
