Depends how you do it... I'll certainly be keeping it as far out of the driver's way as possible in the Mehari - made more difficult by the fact that the driver and passenger spaces in a Mehari aren't symmetrical!

Neil, im just hoping that bulkhead isnt from the Indian Copper dyane that was on 2cvtv! although it looked better, im waiting to see if any doors turn up, if im right, the offside doors should have a decal on them!

That Dyane was orange tenere, and i think this is too. It says it came in under scrappage; correct me if i'm wrong, but to be eligible for scrappage the car needs to be currently MOT'd, which the 2cvtv wasn't - and it certainly needed some work for it to gain one.

It's not exactly a trade secret that a non-tested car that comes in for scrappage might be viewed <ummm> "slightly more flexibly" by the in-house tester than a car that they know is destined to return to the road...

(and, yes, it was a dealer-employed MOT tester that told me that...)

So they'll MOT a car knowing full well that it's not going to be driven again? that's business I suppose. Isn't it about time MOT garages and service stations were separated?

Personally, I'm quite happy with the scrappage scheme taking non-MOTable cars off the road in place of ones with a ticket, if it's going to take any cars...

Neil,
the Dyane which has been 'scrappaged' was definitely a 1980s build, but
for whatever reason it's listed as being a 1974 car.

There's evidence of a quick and dirty respray inside the plastic headlamp buckets,
also on Ebay...

Fair cop!

The Dyane that was on 2cvtv was definitely orange tenere.

ahh ok so its not the same one as 2cvtv! also... don't you need to have been a registered owner for over a year on a car being scrapped? IIRC you cant just buy a shed, mot it and then take it in for your 2k off a heap of modern crap!
