Me Lud, as it's an mot failure, I will bid you £150 English pounds,as it sits,due to it being very dangerous, and only now fit for scrap.. I will pay you in nice new plastic £20's and £10's...  :)

It is clear that the Signum 2.8T V6 is a future classic.....worth millions. :)

Although I will concede this rise in value may take place long after I am six feet under. :)

*depend on comparing saloon/hatch or estate ::)

But you're absolutely correct, they have nothing in common appart from that ;D

 There's quite a lot of bits off, the old scraper sigmund, that will fit the Slab. Brakes being the first.  Interior wise, not worth having, but suspension,brakes wheel that'll do.

New MOT now in place. Apparently I don't get 13 months because of the extra 5 free months they have already given me due to covid.

I was surprised to find there was no charge for 'freeing off and cleaning' the handbrake mechanism, so I left a £20 tip.

I must be blessed with a likeable personality. :)

So then......£39 for the MOT and a tip of £20.

£59 to keep a classic Vauxhall on the road for another year. What's not to like. :y

The Signum is a design triumph. :)

The car has covered 91000 miles.

Apparently the plugs are supposed to be changed at 80,000.

The 3  plugs at the front are easy to access. :y The 3 at the back are not. :-\

Car is running perfectly so............ ::) 8)
