    poppystar I don't plan to do any work to it.  It's not a car I want to drive.  Motorway sound interesting, will have a look.  Thanks.
    I ended up giving the car to charity - charity gained, no cost to me and no hassle either, they just collected. I feel bad I didn’t get an MOT sorted, new battery etc as the car was loved but at the end of the day I found the car was far more hassle than the house and I didn’t want to get into doing any possible expensive MOT repairs. 
    Post a thread at 11:51 requesting advice and at 1:22 car has been given away. Sorry but why bother asking for advice? 
    No, I was simply sharing my experience with the OP - it’s what we do on here!!
    Poppystar, I appreciate that, I was just trying to draw attention to the short time line between OPs initial post and their decision to move the car on just 90 mins later.
    OP has not made that decision, as he says he is still weighing over the pros and cons. He certainly has not ‘given the car away’ - so whether you were having a go at him or me it wasn’t based on anything that had been said.

    No poppystar gave a car to charity. The OP is still undecided.
    Poppystar didn't start this thread just added their experience.

    Is this car petrol or diesel?
    If petrol it will be ULEZ compliant.
    From the OP's description there can't be much wrong with the car.
    Someone will buy it as a punt.
