The Hulk, 1988 Lime Green 300tdi winch challenge 90
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261098064839?ssP...500wt_1363

I couldn't resist not buying it!

2800 for a rebuilt challenge truck seems a bargain, bought it unseen and I have a broken foot! and The guy that is buying my bike hasn't collected and paid for it yet!

Am I being completely bonkers? lol

Its in lincoln with no tax or mot and I'm in Cardiff lol

Can I drive it home with no tax or mot but insured to a pre arranged MOT test in cardiff? 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

No. You can drive to a pre-arranged MOT but there is a test of reasonability - the MOT station must be reasonably local to you. This is expressly to prevent people doing what you suggest!

Mind you once long ago I did (allegedly) drive my first Series 1 80" from South Wales to Bucks for an MOT, but that was before the days of ANPR cameras etc.

Looks like a good buy and I am sure you'll have a lot of fun with it. Thumbs Up

Ive had a quote of 230 quid so far off Shiply for it to be delivered. but that means I'm taking a risk not seeing it. is there any local forum members to Lincoln that can give it the once over on my behalf? 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Have you tried fleabay searching 'car transport service' or 'car delivery service'. It comes up with loads of companies and if you put in your post code/ their post code it will highlight the closest companies for the job.

Feel the need for a warning though: By winning the auction on ebay you have agreed to the terms and conditions which means you have to pay unless you can prove the truck isn't as described. And considering he didn't say much about it (probably why you got a such great deal- terrible sales pitch and pictures) you will struggle to pull out of it- Bit like the old saying "Sold as seen, no warranties or guarantees".

Also note: Insurance is invalid without a current MOT and TAX. There is no legal way to get it home other than on the back of something.

Good luck and get the foot fixed so you can drive the beast!!!

I don't think you have too much to worry about. For that sort of outlay and with two decent feet and the time, if need be you could last resort, break the vehicle down and possibly knock it on in piece parts to recoup your money. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Thats exactly why i bought it at that price!

even if its Censored ! I can get good money for the bits and probably make more!

Ive just HPI'ed it and comes up all clear.

not stolen scrapped or written off.

9 previous owners

and 1 colour change.

so its all seems to be above board so far! 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)
