  1. That looks like a big hangar full of classic cars in storage - yikes
  2. Superb - well earned!!
  3. Pretty easy but use big steady stands as that is a lot of weight you are under. If you can put a wheel under the rear tyre that is safer if you only have small stands.
  4. I think the team is coming good and the future is bright in my opinion. Shame that Ollie has gone - he was doing a good job. Anyway let's see what happens next. There is no law against having cash in your pocket.
  5. Ollie's resignation may not be Flav related - give it time Gotta be honest - I don't think Jack is a fit for that team. He will do well elsewhere and Franco will be fun to watch.
  6. Looking good Richard! A pleasure to help on this. This morning I am working on the total loss of a British classic which I valued at £14,500 last year and the big-name insurers are offering less than 30% of same! No idea why the client didn't agree the value back then and that may bite him a bit. But we will see - I support my reports for two years after issue within the original cost so I am around to help him out.
  7. It is good to see the DfT looking into ending the MOT exemption. It is a half-baked piece of legislation that should never have been passed and was just there to align with Europe. Hopefully binning MOT exeption would also take the 'structural changes' laws with it as they have completely screwed some owners who wanted to register classics that were perfectly roadworthy. Or people wishing to update the registration of veteran cars or bikes dragged out of sheds but not matching the often completely wrong DVLA records. So much needless hassle is caused by the DVLA's insistence that its data is correct every year, when it is clearly way off at times. And then they send inexperienced youngsters to inspect things for authenticity who have no idea what they are looking at and so just reinforce bad data. Get it all in the bin.
  8. OK I have just paid the deposit on this so let's go again - JG JG's +1 TBC FXM Fraser WC WC's Graham It has always been Wednesday IIRC 😘 and no I have not got a proper job x
  9. Thread archaelology - one year later Definitely £50k remains way too low for a good 3.2. I am the only independent valuer recommended by Footman James, Classicline and Adrian Flux amongst others but if your insurer will accept club valuations then all good. Not all will take a club number these days. Just make sure the club numbers are high enough as some clubs are too low.
  10. I do a lot of work for Adrian Flux and have spoken with the customer service lead there several times. I do like those guys.
  11. Add the buyer's premium. 15%!! On a £50k sale price AT AUCTION so with no test drives etc that would be £7500 on top. MOT history has a fail for seat belt anchorage rust (b posts) in 2019. Nothing in the description about that.
  12. No problem, I will go back and query the desserts. OK thanks all.
  13. OK, just doing the workings on this bill before sending some PMs. I have an extra trio of mini desserts, chunky chips at a fiver and a chip upgrade at 50p on the loose. Can the owners please claim these
