Get a grip! I suspect there needs to be a dose of reality on this forum....

Sorry to have caused you so much outrage chap!
I am not referring to the likes of you and our fellow posters on this forum, we are all enthusiasts who would ensure that 'our' classics are totally safe. Working as I do in the motor-trade where people are prolonging service intervals etc, and leaving MoT testing until the last minute in a vain bid to save money leads me to believe that some unscupulous individuals may be tempted to offer their aged next door neighbour £50.00 for the rusting Morris Minor in his back garden, so they can drive it around, without the cost of keeping it safe & road-worthy.*
