SUZUKI SAMARAI 1988 £200

yep same here , got any details of it

ok cheers , not interested in doing a vic either .

as its been in an accident then sold on it has to have one to prove its not been ringed all vosa do is check the vin number at the nearest testing station to you the only damage is a slightly bent rear bumper just cant be bothered gutted realy was going to do a spring over conversion which highers the suspension by 6" would have been a little monster truck

orpington kent and perfectly legal to drive the log book is in my name they just wont issue it untill the vic is done

My understanding is that it would need to be re-MOT`d if the accident happened after the current one was issued.
Bought a Nissan Almera last year & went through the process.
Basically vosa want you to get the MOT first then book it in with them (they tell you the date by the way)! Took about a month to get mine booked in and you pay them in advance.
Take it down, they check the paperwork, engine no, vin no etc.
I guess they rely on the MOT to verify that the vehicle is safe!
Then you can send off for the V5 (another £25).
Basically what i thought was going to be a cheap car ended up costing an extra £115
And i struggled to sell it because printed in bold on the logbook was "Vehicle damaged or substantially repaired" or similar wording (can`t remember).
Not wishing to put anyone off, i love these motors & would probably be ideal for offroading where none of the above matters!
Good luck with sale & free bump.

hmm i wonder is the 4wd gear would fit under a 1st gen civic.....can you measure the wheel base at all please??

wheelbase is 79.9 inches , thats the chassis i put a mini clubman on . also think panda is correct , the mot is now invalid

don't want to sound like i am picking on you, but it IS illegal to drive as we tried to put a 1991 clio back on the road when it became a catagory 'C' in a light crash, and we were told by the DVLA that the mot that was on the car BEFORE the crash became invalid and that a mot that dated AFTER the crash would need to be done to make sure that the damage didnt make the car unroadworthy or dangerous to drive. The only thing that should be ok is the tax. The VIC check costs £38, then you need the V5C which costs £25.

Can i ask what the distance between the arches is, as i might know of someone who want to put a panda shell on the chassis

Sorry I cant comment at this Vic test thing as ive never come across it, but if it only costs another £100 to get it roadworthy this car is a bargain.
