I think they scrapped the VOSA test. I believe you just take it for a MOT test. Could be wrong though.

Hi thanks for the reply Anthony much appreciated. Do you happen to know if once the car is repaired is the car going to cost more to insure as it is a cat C? Thanks Will.

I don't think so, IMO. The car will be worth much less than a non cat c car though, even if It's repaired to showroom standard. I know insurance companies have 'engine replacement' listed, but I don't know if it would alter the price. :/

Ah I see, yes they do. As the diagram above shows, bushes/seals and washers are used. Numbers 17, 18 and 19 on that diagram.

Buy some gunk, some paint brushes and take your time. Steam cleaning won't de-grease, it just removes road grime.

That car's certainly been changed a bit from standard - early 80s Mayfair interior, late Cooper wheels (possibly brakes too) and an 80s Metro lump. I am not convinced that that colour was a '79 shade either (could've been resprayed). If it's originality you want, then it's not the car for you! As stated above though, the missing tag could just be something that's gone missing over the years. It's worth a look as you're not too far away - if there's anyt...

...anything you're not sure about, walk away. It does look a bit expensive for what it is though.

Thanks I went and had a quick look and it’s got rust in nearly all of the panels - around the roof in the rear quarters by the radius arms, bonnet, A panel, boot hinge panel, so the search will go on thanks for your help much appreciated
