RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: ULEZ compliant?

2023-07-17 Thread susanandmartin 
My understanding is that as long as the vehicle hasn’t been altered in the last 
30 years, that it qualifies for MOT exemption. There is also (IIRC) a special 
case for classics having a new monocoque  or chassis as a manufacturer’s part 
replacement for the original. Lots of different sections in the ‘rules’ which, 
as always, seem to be applied in different ways by DVLA.

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: ULEZ compliant?

I am currently going through a DVLA issue that sort of relates to the point you 
are raising. I recently took my 1969 Lotus for an MOT  but the garage that has 
been MoTing the car for over 30 years now tells me that it failed on emissions. 
Due to a "Chassis" change in '78 the DVLA insisted it be re registered so it 
now has a T plate. The V5 does state "first registered as 1978 but also 
contains a note saying it was "first used in 1969"
The document that the MoT Tester is presented with simply states "First 
Registered date"
as 1978 so he tested it as a "78 car.
I see that the MoT Manual tabulates the emissions requirements as to when the 
vehicle was "first used" but pointing this out to the tester did not change his 
mind.
I have complained to the DVLA and await full outcome.
The vehicle VIN plate seems to be the item to settle any argument but the 
administration path is arduous and requires a certificate from the manufacturer 
showing when the vehicle was made based on the VIN.
Another gotchya is the need for an Mot  for vehicles over 40 years old. Kit 
cars threw a spanner in this aspect resulting in the DVLA coming out with a 
points scheme. To be listed as an Historic vehicle the vehicle must be made up 
of mainly original components. Any variation alters the points status and may 
subsequently require the vehicle to be MoTed. This is a very messy area and can 
result in very complex arguments

Where abouts are you located?
Any idea what sort of figure you might be after?

[Quantum Owners] 2+2 saloon needing new home

2023-07-17 Thread Ken Needham 
I have a Red 2+2 saloon That really needs a new home and TLC.
I was using the car as daily transport up to when Covid hit.
Coincident with retirement I put the car on SORN as there is something 
needing attention on the clutch.
It has an XR3i engine fitted with standard Ford injection ECU, 5 speed box 
and 14 inch Escort wheels with very good Uniroyal rain tyres all round.
The car is not pretty and has a high mileage.
Covid got me early on and after effects are still with me so I can't see me 
able to revive the car in the near future. 
I have many spares, original worn CVH engine, Refurbished gearbox internals 
plus a complete gearbox, many light lens and new rear axel support arms. 
Set of 5 13" wheels

Is this something someone may be interested in?

Best regards
