Welcome Tony. Am sure someone will come along soon with aerial help. Does it just not extend? Broken and half out? Does it make any noise?

So many sale posts recently, that i presume everyone wants in on the 400Z when it is launched, and needs to save purchase/import fees to get the "first in UK" kudos? ? I had given thought to trying to sell my lot, simply because i have no room or time to do anything with them at the moment, but looks like this max exodus and saturation will have a bit of an impact and might as well go to welding/painting night school instead ? Seems sad to think that so many great members are selling up though.

nice little trip Richard, and car looking nice. Had a couple of exterior rust spots sorted on mine this weekend, front and rear arch on driver side. Need to sort rear passenger side another weekend.

Deja vu on unread threads ? Sorry to hear it didnt go to plan but thanks for the continued attention and upkeep Lee, always appreciated ?

Take your car Richard, if you plan on attending anyway? ? i would offer, but am not sure if i will be isolating or not, but will be willing to take it if all else fails.

They always want the basic 6 pics as a baseline on the vehicle, to ensure there is no existing damage or obvious defects that they should know about. They ask for this each year, and always want fresh pics, not re-used. As part of the overall valuation, you want to be sending detailed pics of the work or parts that are being used to justify the valuation, such as chassis and corrosion work, rust proofing, strip downs for restoration or repainting. Agreed value is not just the sum of the parts. The valuation guys are not expert in every vehicle, but they do understand the value of prevention and maintenance, along with simple receipts for parts. This is why they will take club valuations into account during the overall process, while also checking sale adverts etc. Alex, you are right, they wont accept a club valuation on it's own due to risk of fraud, but they do take them into account as part of the overall evidence you provide to justify the request. You want to supply as much of this evidence as possible to get the best valuation. Sometimes you can offer a valuation price, and they respond with an agreement, but other times they will offer a different valuation, up as well as down, based on their industry knowledge or in comparison to other vehicles they already have on their books.

Dont think club funds will stretch anywhere near the opening bid !

Misfire to troubleshoot, going nowhere in it at the moment.

Yes, i meant for end of year, after it is SORNed, you could still book and take it without taking it off SORN. Mine failed on some minorly stupid things which i didnt get a chance to check before i took it. Spent the weekend replacing 2 very leaky fuel hoses, and decorating, so i forgot to check all the MOT items once i put the battery on and realised they had degraded since last use.

You can still drive it while SORN if you pre-book the MOT Gary, at least here you can? The MOT exemption stops at end of July, so if your MOT is due in August, it will not get extended.

Blimey!

gone grave digging

congrats to you and Julia
