Stumbled across this whilst looking for a cheap runaround for the sister-in-law:

Still 1300cc on the look book and untaxed since 1997

Brilliant Q car, tidy conversion and ideal for a prequel to the Taxi films.

Shame it's still 1.6 on the log book.

[Liquid Knight]

Damn it!!!

I really liked this one. Still 1.3 on the log book and the conversion was done over ten years ago. I doubt it has ever been insured or taxed properly.

A genuine white Maestro Turbo would be worth thousands this...

Wow! What a car!





Pro-built?

^regarding the Cosworth...

Personally once a car gets to that stage of rebuild whereby there are next to no original parts I believe the DVLA will have a meltdown if you tried to do the right thing.

Besides, given the engine size has no impact on the tax and no doubt the owner has a very specialist insurance policy it all seems to be far more above board than finding every Corsa XE swap insured as a 1.2 an paying reduced road tax.

No, no. It has an "enfine", quite different.

Apparently this counts as 'good points'

Unsurprisingly the reg seems absent and no mention of change of details.

Given the admitted faults I would avoid totally I think. Why would you take the risk.

Why would you not want to change the log book? Sounds like a great little car to me.
Still insured as a 1.2 or worse...

DVLA lists that as a black Vauxhall, 1998cc with both tax and MOT. What have I missed?

Where could the undeclared engine have come from?

The origin of this thread was because a friend of mine bought a BMW E36 touring with an M3 3.2 conversion from a stolen car and he lost the lot and nearly ended up charged with receiving stolen goods and theft of a motor vehicle.

Oh, I see what you're saying. I thought you were saying the Astra was dodgy.

That exact one isn't the source of that exact engine, but I suspect that's how most stolen and unrecovered cars like that end up, yes.

My Astra has a variant of that engine so I'd like to see it stay on my drive
