maybe because of the conversion for running on waste veg oil

Nearside front wing is rotten.

Still don't know why it is free tax though!

i asked him the question and his reply was
"The free tax is because it's registered as an ambulance. So every time the DVLA send out the renewal form in the post - it automatically has 12 months at 'nil' on it."

sounds illegal to me!

well it was a waste of money having the twink tank conversion done thats not £900 wortha bit of rubber hose switched solonoid and a jerry can . as said rotten front wings but i can believe the free road tax if it was first registerd as an ambulance then no road tax lots do something similar in london to avoid the congestion tax register as a cab or disability vehicle and its free no congestion charge

Sounds very fishy to me, DVLA aren't stupid and will soon catchup if anyone tries it on I'm sure. As said the NSF Wing is rotten in usual place. It's been tarted up with more polish than enough on all the trims. That mucky old barrel is a proffesionally fitted conversion?

Bardge Pole and wouldn't touch springs to mind on this one. The vehicle may be honest but that as much as my opinion will go.
