However the auction is now well underway and there is a bid of ?191 so far. >> Anyone want a Vitara rolling chassis with a body attached ? >> >> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4523891736&ssPageName= STRK:MESE:IT > > Is it drivable and has it any MOT or Tax?? never fails to amaze me. got a pc but cant quite grasp the idea of a link. can read but doesnt - the description says 'rolling chassis, anything extra i would regard as a bonus. and if he bothered to click the link he would have seen its up for less than ?400, at the time of this post. its almost as bad as asking where can i get a television - you are obviously connected to the net, ever heard of GOOGLE. whoops sorry, rant over beginning to sound like my dad I like the comment that its in daily use, even though the body is no longer properly attached to the chassis! Anyone who drives (or lets his daughter drive) a vehicle in that conditon is obviously a complete and utter nutter. >I like the comment that its in daily use, even though the body is no longer > properly attached to the chassis! Yes it would seem so, I understand what you are saying. In fact it is me using it now as my daughter has bought another car. I have deliberately laid it on about the corrosion so I can not be accused of misrepresenting it. As I understand from the MOT people. It has passed its MOT because it has a separate chassis and the corrosion to the wheel arches is not a fail. But it would be on a conventional vehicle. Anyone who drives (or lets his daughter drive) a vehicle in that conditon is > obviously a complete and utter nutter. I would be unhappy to drive a vehicle that was unsafe. It may pass its next MOT I don't know. However you are probably right. I am a nutter. Anyone who is prepared to drive over a cliff with the instructions "Whatever you do don't touch the brakes or steering and you'll be Ok " Can't be all bad though > >I like the comment that its in daily use, even though the body is no longer > > properly attached to the chassis!

That depends on the distance from the corrosion to items like seat belt mountings etc. (if the corrosion is within a 30cm sphere from a seat belt mounting point, it is a fail) It can also fail on sharp edges of course, but that can be cured with duct tape. As for the body mounts, for it to fail there would have to be a "insecurity of the body or its supporting members to the chassis so that it is clear that there would be a danger to other road users." In other words, as long as the body wasnt about to fall off, or move to such an extent that it would affect the control of the vehicle, then it is a pass. > Anyone who is prepared to drive over a cliff with the instructions > > "Whatever you do don't touch the brakes or steering and you'll be Ok " Or in the case of this thing "Don't brake too hard or the chassis will stop but the body wont!!" ;-) where his money used to be. >> >I like the comment that its in daily use, even though the body is no > longer [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > >It is safe enough for the time being and it is sold ?360. The new owner is probably going to sell it off as parts and make som money. sad really I loved that car ((;; |
