what to do with a 320d

[Migx]

short story.
i bought a 320d. sold it to my brother. car have now 250k miles. mot runs out and he doesnt want to put it trough. he is giving it back to me.
apart from a air tube that is leaking the car still does great. 50 mpg and doesn't use any oil.(he just drove back from portugal).
what shall we do with it?

Why does he not want to put it through an MOT? Could either of you still make use of the car? The answers to these two questions make all the difference.

I'll give you £50 for it!

tired of it and car is starting to need some repairs.(hand brake cant be calibrated anymore so it needs new brake shoes.) rear suspension been changed but front one will need repairing. bonnet is wonky due to someone reversing against my brother.
just small things but not worth the time or money.
we could but im using a p38 (a reliable one) and he will either buy another car or use his pajero during the winter months. my wife doesnt like it as she says it is too big.

dont want to spend money with it and want to do something fun. if it was a older car i would just take the shell and make something of it. cant with this one though as the shell is part of the chassi

If it comes with 12 months MOT and is tidy I think you may be surprised.

Reliable.?. (.?.?.? P38! !!!!!??

Fix the 320d and donate your unique Rangey to a museum.

[photosnob]

Load it with all your mates and use it for a crash for cash.

Banger racing, ram raid/bank heist, rwyb drift day, rent/buy a field to run around in?

Or just fix and sell it, what's the model year?

Burn it?

[eltax91]

Give it to me and I can put it to use getting my MiL mobile again after her car went pop.

[Strawman]

Borrow a turbo from a Scania truck and 're-map' the engine, see how long it lasts before it explodes?
