What do I need?
The car currently has no insurance. Is there a special road tax form from the Post Office that I need to fill in?
-
If the V5C is in your name, you can do either;
Insure the vehicle and tax online, providing it has a current MOT and the reg number appears on the MID. If it's a new policy it can take sometime to appear.
Or, at your post office - take the V5C, MOT and Insurance cert and they can tax for you. No special forms are needed.

A most astute observation, Steve.
It appears that those 'very nice people' at HMRC have a different view to myself on how much income tax I should pay. :'( :'(
Begging doesn't seem to appeal to their better nature either......because they don't have one. :'(
If all goes to plan the 'Big German' should be gone by 10.00 a.m this Saturday. :'(
I'll be taking a sizeable hit.....but that's life. :-\

Sympathies, Opti. I'm in quite a chilled mood at the moment, so I'm not going to talk about HMRC, or I won't be chilled for long.

Never mind Opti, the Omega is a far superior motor car anyway and with the cash you'll save in servicing costs you'll be able to pay your tax bill!!! :)

I sold it on the dreaded 'Bay of Fleas'....

I'm roughly £1400 down in total. :(....Oh well.

I paid £6750.......so lost £400 there.......Plus 10 months tax (about £230).......Plus £636 for the new 'airbag'.
So.....£1266 ish for two and a half months of Mercedes ownership. Hmmm.....It's only money, and could have been worse. :y :y
What pisses me off the most is that I'll never see this money again.......or the other £6,000. :'( :'(
I keep telling you lot that Mr Opti is 'piss poor'.........but will you listen. :P :P ;D ;)
-
Bit rough on potential bidders there, Opti. Frightened the life out of me. ;D
-
An awful lot of car for not a lot of money .... shame you had to get rid .. just hope its a genuine buyer and not a chancer .. :(

Yep. For what she is worth (in monetary terms) it just wasn't worth the hassle of selling the old girl.
She shall arise once more, phoenix like, to rule the motorways just as she once did, destroying any Zonda, Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari or Daewoo who dare to challenge her absolute supremacy. ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
Yep , not worth selling in this current market . Only another 8 years and it will be 25 years old :y

Sorry you had to get rid in these circumstances. Shame there was no other option as you deserve something a bit different in your later years.
