I've bought a car and need to pick it up on sunday except it's SORN with no MOT but i can't get a trailer or tow-bar fitted before then so i'm pleading to anyone with the above i'ts worth £100+petrol.
The car's between andover and basingstoke and i need to get it back to bristol.
If you can help, email me through my profile and i'll pick it up in the morning as i'll have no internet until then.
Cheers in advance (hopefully)

Can you not book an MOT and drive it??

Failing that, PHer Iguana does a service - profile here: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=0&memberId=18247

Thats exactly what I'd do ! (assuming you have some sort of insurance to cover the driver in the vehicle (3rd party only as a part of another policy perhaps?))

I think he's bought a 200sx.


As an aside is it one of the single garage (ie load bed over the wheels) type ones? I'd be interested in having a look if so.

It's a Brian James Minno and is designed to fit (just!) into a single garage. The load bed is between the wheels so is pretty narrow (a Caterham SV doesn't fit!). Not for sale though as I don't have any intention of getting rid of my Caterham

I'm just considering my options for when I need transport (I'm getting rid of the SV). There's meant to be a supernarrow trailer available.

You're welcome to come and have a look at it brandishing a tape measure. I'm in Bath (most of the time).

Gezz,

Can you confirm that it's a 200sx - I've got a Brian James double axle and a murano with a newly installed tow kit (so new that I only pick it up on Friday afternoon!!)
I should be able to help you out if you still need it?
It will have to be very early Sunday morning (I'll need to be back in Bristol by 9am) or Saturday / Friday night would be fine?

Big thanks to all the help kids, sorry i didn't respond to any of it but the internet at home is badgered so i'm at the mercy of internet cafes.
Got the car with the fantastic help of jon/atomic rex.
