Unique Features & Classic Car Status:
What sets this vehicle apart, besides its distinctive modifications, is the imminent classic car status in the UK. In April 2026, this vehicle will be classified as a classic car, exempting it from MOT, ULEZ, and Tax – a significant benefit for the new owner! Due to its colour & number plate, I think it could be used as West Ham memorabilia.
Reason for sale:
I realised that the car will require a lot of work to get it to a proper running state. I had already spent close to £900 with ACL Autos in Barking, East London fixing multiple bits to get it to a somewhat running state. It requires a new gearbox as the current one has been customised, which means it only has one gear, and the reverse doesn't always work. I would be happy to source one, if needed. It needs complete rewiring, a new radiator, amending the exterior of the driver door, fixing the handbrake as at the moment only one wheel locks, and many other bits. The battery gets drained by the air suspension system, which needs attention too.
It's best to see the car in person!
