I entered the 1981 Cyprus International Rally with an east German Wartburg. A three cylinder engine which sounded like a lawn mower....and went like one too. :)

Can you imagine how many people will just disconnect the speedo and drive for years and years..... :roll: Tires rot and bits rust......Yearly is a good idea.

I nearly bought a wartburg many years ago but was put of by the smelly and smoky two stroke engine ~ these cars are classics now

How could something so simple, as an MOT, defeat you? ... :roll:


Yet another fine example of the retarded level of response to a perfectly valid question.

So Oracle, are you licensed by the government to carry out MOT tests?

No? Didn't think so.

Servicing your car is one thing, having it MOT'd in order to prove its road-worthiness is another and can only be done by authorised MOT centres.
