Strange question, but how much would by Austin Westminster have cost to tax in 1965?

Have a look at the link 64 £15, 66 £17 so presume £16 for 65

Dead and rotten. Runs out of MOT this month so could not be asses to do the work needed to fix it. Last time I drove that is when we went to that show in Alton.

So, Mini owners, you thought your cars were bad in crash tests, here is the 97 metro, with its new impact bars and airbag...which mine doesnt have: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rover+metro+metro+1.1+crash+test&FORM=HDRSC3#view=detail&mid=39ECC7F8B9AC6F639C0139ECC7F8B9AC6F639C01

That's why the car was put out of production. They spent a fortune on that facelift, sent it to Ncap and it scored the lowest result ever recorded. Minis are much more crash worthy. Even a Tata Nano is better in a crash than a Metro!

wow and a tata nano isn't legal is most places cause it is so unsafe.

It is a tad scary to be honest XD you see how bad the 100 faired, mine is the earlier metro without air bag, side impact bars, strengthening etc.

That moment when you think "Uh oh. I didn't get off the train at the right stop!" Then remember that the train terminates at your station anyway. Just like every other day at this time!

That's horrible :( He was alright though and his mini is still running?
I hate such drivers on the roads, make the place worse for the rest of us.

God damn! There are some right duckweeds out there! Not what you want at any time of year, let alone Christmas/New Year when garages close!

Yesterday I had someone pull out of a side road, attempted to stop then thought they'd beat me, spun the wheels and then stalled in the middle of the road, 2 tone 3 litre doing a tonne takes a while to stop, luckily no accident and they didn't even attempted to say sorry
