Also had a Stellar. I believe he sold that to quietside.

Met him at the FoD. Lovely old gent. Felt rather sorry for him as you could tell he wanted to really muck in on some spannering others were doing, but couldn't as he can only get around with two sticks now.

Yes that's the man, that would sadly explain why he rarely got out in the car. I think he was trying to encourage his son or another relative to take it out now and again.

I think he also wanted a go in the Invac*r, but I broke that earlier in the afternoon.

Do I still get the award when I say that I then fixed it (with Purplebargeken) (as I felt a bit guilty)?

I don't have the last tax disc for it, I must have bought a whole year and sent it back for a refund. Tax exemption for vehicles over 25 years old didn't even exist and the 4-wheeler rate was £100 (and stayed at £100pa for six years). Tricycle rate at the time was £50 for a whole year and £27.50 for a half.

I do have however, the previous disc, so it wasn't off the road all that long before I took ownership. (Forget the DVLA, it was the DVLC back then too)
