'S' MOT day

[greyhulk]

so for the first time since i bought my 'S' on june 27th 2015, its finally problem free (for now ), ive been faced with typical TVR problems & some strange ones.. overheating, dodgy electrics, fan completely packing up, cutting out at traffic lights etc.

It has just passed its MOT with no advisories! All the hard work & time put in has paid off, for once i can enjoy the car & continue the stainless steel fetish . Would just like to say thanks to the 'S' community on here who have helped me out with different issues ive encountered, appreciate it gents.

I am very glad to hear that Steve, very encouraging. See you at some events and swap stories about breathing life into old TVR's!?

Cheers guys, must admit it was a relief, found myself online looking at previous MOT's on the car from years ago & getting worried.

Well done on passing the MOT, future fun guaranteed now !

Regarding the above - where can you see this MOT info. online ?

[greyhulk]

Thank you, i used www.check-mot.service.gov.uk completely free of course

[TurboTony]

Enjoy driving your TVR this year. Hope to meet up soon. The MOT check website is fascinating.....

[Niiige]

That's an interesting site.

I'm off now to spend a happy hour looking at my collection of MOT certificates !!

[greyhulk]

Yep going to print my one off actually, only dates back to 2006 for some reason, can't seem to get all the previous years.

Fresh off the MOT i just picked up my S, such an awesome drive back from covemtry on the M6, enjoyed it so much I forgot to take my exit & carried on few miles off route

I think 2006 was the year they started recording the MOT test details on the central computer.
