Don't tempt me
I now know that it's still possible to buy a sub-£100 car with MOT
This all started with the daft notion of mebbies getting a daft old 4 seat convertible, so I could take the kids out, without breaking the bank... (cheaper to buy in winter
)
A quick search thru AT soon revealed hunners of Golf/Astra/Escort ragtops (Punto & 205Cti were more interesting), but also the odd E30 Bee-Emm & SAAB 900/93
Closer inspection at stained seats & carpets & generally flaky interiors from years of damp soon put an end to the idea

Been browsing PH & AT lately too. Last time I bought a copy of AT I ended up with £1K of nova sr in my garage ... now sold!
Sitting with an empty garage... must stop buying sheds for arsing about at motorsport with and save up for a proper car... with no roof, and maybe no doors or windscreen

Its nickname "the malteser" was well deserved.
