  1.  

    There was a two minutes silence for remembrance at Bisley. 

    Disappointed.  

    Despite an announcement on the radio  and the hooter sounded for cease fire, there was still firing on one of the smaller ranges, maybe Winans or Cheylesmore. Very poor. Show some respect!

    I thought it was the law that on sale or transfer MOT exempt vehicles had to have a new test. I could be totally wrong as I used to voluntary test mine for piece of mind every year. I put a new test on mine on advice of the local garage on day of sale. They said it's to prevent illegal, stolen or ringed vehicles. Maybe he just wanted a last £20.00 from me as that's all he charges for MOT exempt. Sorry if I got it wrong, mine was a 59 series 2a, galvanised chassis and totally rebuilt to almost as original spec, except seats and rear bulkhead removed. 

    Sorry that sounds a bit of a line to me.

  3. Centrepin I haven't heard anything about historic class needing an MOT for sale, is that a new rule? Plenty of vehicles that need an MOT get sold without one. I've bought MOT exempt vehicles in the past and not needed to MOT. 

    As the MOT exemption is linked to the tax class it would be hard to police.

    no you will have to contact dvla   you may find you will be limited on how many miles you do a year

    Sorry not true. Tax exemption is not limited mileage in the UK. Yet. Mind if we ever leave the EU we shouldn't get the limits they have on historical tax class. Historical tax is age related. Even though the road tax is free, you still need to tax it.

    Classic insurance is commonly mileage limited. 

    Have to agree and say that the landy in question doesn't look like it would keep the original reg as the engine, possibly the box and also suspension isn't original spec. It's a points system and the drive train is a big part of it. The chassis can't be altered either.

    Landrovers are a bit of a favourite with what was VOSA (now DVSA). They often get picked on at shows. If qiestions get asked  they do know what they are looking at.

    Q plates are massively disliked by insurance companies. 

  5. Here's my personal experience. I have 7.5 ton on grandfather rights. I neved did my CPC my CPC. I have a 7.5 ton beavertail for my own use. I never have a problem. Never been stopped. My mate borrowed the truck. He too is an old **** with grandfather rights to 7.5 ton. Despite using the truck in the same way as me he ended up in court because the cop that stopped him just wouldn't leave it. He was found not guilty of having no CPC or O license. Not a nice wait for the court date though.
