I run my SJ and another car and I'm only 21, but what I do is insure the SJ, tax it then cancel the insurance during the cooling off period. Then when I want to use my SJ I just add it to my other cars insurance as a temp car so I only pay a daily rate. Though due to a change in the law this is now not legal, but I havent got a letter through the post about it yet.

The corsa should consider itself lucky... normally Vauxhalls get scrapped, not sold
Keep the SJ henry please!!!

Ha she wont be getting scrapped for a long time. And ive just come in from clearing out a space in the garage, behind the vw campervan that hasnt moved for 18 months, the panda project and half of my old white sj!
And i sold some parts to a guy who had just bought an sj, and he wants to sell so i could be having another one in the family
£400 is what he wants, bit steep but im sure we can negotiate after ive been to have another look
For all the welsh....... she loved it

Is that the SJ he wants £400 for? if it's running with those parts on I would say It's a bargain with today's SJ market!
my green Van 410 that needed work and was totally standard went for £280 on ebay!
