So what you think Stu, should we sell it the way it is or spend some more cash on it to get it through an MOT?

What Colin said. You will get so much more if you get it mot'd! And it doesn't sound like you are in a hurry to sell? If not, put it up at a price you feel is acceptable and wait for a buyer

You's are probably right, we're never gonna get back what's been spent on it to date anyways, no matter what we do with it now

Insure things that aren't there And insure it TPFT and I'll come along and nick it, change plates, sell it for a grand. Everyone's a winner

Infact I think you're right. I don't think it's far from a place called Cardenden. They would give you a good service. I'm sure one of my mates have a number so I'll hunt them down Tomorrow and u2u one of you
