You need to get it MOT'd to transfer. Does the engine need to be running to get an MOT? Emissions? |

My understanding is that, if it's not there, they can't test it. For instance, if you take the windscreen out, they can't issue a failure notice for a chipped/scratched screen. Therefore, if you took it for a test and there was no engine fitted, they could not test for emissions and you would get a pass. |

I doubt for example a car with no brakes would get a pass just because they weren't there

So what's the catch? As you can see this is my first post, hello. I have registered so that I can ask this one question. I am not in a position to buy (impending house extension) but I was browsing Ebay and saw this car. I am looking for a project and this looks like a good deal, am I missing something? Cheers. Chris |

The cost of resurrecting a dead 928 can be thousands. and as a good one can be had for under £5,000 nobody would want to sink the money into a dead one. But if you cannot afford it at the moment then it's not such an issue anyway. |

Thank you. Yes I have noticed that ones in better order can be bought for a few thousand. |

I hope you are able to get one soon. Don't forget to budget for maintenance/jobs. See if there's a specialist near to you. |
