Didnt I read on this site somewhere that in Ireland that cars over 30 years old dont have to have an mot ?  is that true ?  Think this might be the exception to the rule. although I would love to drive it about in this condition...

Yes that is correct,however the test is very strict for cars under 30yrs old and if the test is brought in to do cars 30yrs and over,well they won't be on the road Cry..The NCT(National car test) here in Eire is much more strict than in UK.The Red Lad who is a forum member here is a NCT tester.He can tell us more ::)Eugene

The annoying thing with a car that rusty is that it probably had perfect rear turrets (the normal 128 killer), its just that everthing else had fallen apart around them  Cheesy
