Mikey UC Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I’ve inherited a new (ish) car so need to get rid of our old run-about, it’s a Toyota Corolla 1.3 3 door, with 180’000 miles on the clock. It does have a small crack in the fuel filler pipe that will need replacing but other than that she’s a good little runner. I was going to scrap her but it seems a bit of a shame as she’s still running. MOT due in March or April , I’ll have to check. I don’t want anything for her but I’m running the London Marathon next year and trying to raise money for the National Deaf Children’s Society, so would like a donation towards that.

jingars Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Mikey, Might be a daft question, but is it manual or auto? I am working towards being permitted to drive again after a bump in late August, but due to damage to my left leg I may be permitted to drive an auto before a manual?

New Cat Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks again Mikey for the very kind offer. Unfortunately the insurance is prohibitive (around £1200 !!!) and much more expensive than for smaller superminis so we will have to pass. Maybe it will make it to Dakar! Boy would I love to be able to do one of those trips... Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougBaker Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I took my Mercedes 190 to a Production Car Trial prior to scrapping it. It was about to fail the MOT in an uneconomic way. The event I did was only a £25 fee to enter, it was great fun trying to drive it up completely inappropriate hills, without having to worry about scratching the car. You will probably find there is one near you before the MOT runs out. If you have access to a trailer the car does not even need to be road legal/insured for many of the classes.
