We used to own a 4-door Sedan Grey Minor in the early 60's. Two Adults, 3 Kids in the back and Mum holding the Baby and not a seatbelt in site . And with many Cars on the road with no crumple zones, brakes that fade terribly it would mean carnage even for a minor accident. But we were lucky and cars accelerated and travelled so slowly with Drivers who had to have the skills to drive Manuals(some with no synchromesh) no power steering, stability control etc they drove within their limits.

I had a 1958 Morris Traveller back in the day and boy, was it solid. Don't forget it had a proper chassis. One dark and snowy night I was rear-ended by a huge yank tank whilst waiting to turn right from the A66 onto the A1 at Scotch Corner (no roundabout in those days, just a Y-junction). My car suffered a slightly dented rear half-bumper and a broken tail light. Total damage cost: about £1/10/-. The front wing of the other car was pushed back about 3ft and its lovely twin headlights lay smashed on the road. Total damage cost: £hundreds. Vive le Morris!

Exactly! - those were my thoughts as well. Did he just replace the wood with new? Was most of it sanded back a refinished? It all looked split new to me. And as for the mechanical side of the car, I think I can assume that none of this was looked at. According to the MOT database, this car has failed almost every year since 2008, right up to failing again in July 2020. And some of these fails were pretty drastic. For a car that has been ''restored''? So - my question that goes above the wood, is, if this was filmed before 2008, then why has it failed the MOT nearly all the time since then? Here are the dates (as found on the DVLA MOT database: www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ ) *MOT failures for ''NPE 615D'' up to current July 2020* 3rd Oct 2008 - Fail 13th Oct 2009 - Fail 25th Oct 2010 - Fail 26th Oct 2011 - Fail 7th Mar 2013 - Fail 18th Mar 2013 - (Re test and Failed) 22nd Aug 2014 - Fail 2nd Aug 2017 - Fail 27th Jul 2018 - Fail 29th July 2019 - Fail 24th July 2020 - Fail

When was this car given this ''overhaul'' ? (as in, what year did was this filmed?) - The reason I ask is due to the MOT history of the car for the past 12 years. There were a lot of failures on these tests, and some pretty major ones as well. How is this possible if the car was recently ''restored?'' (Failures for NPE 615D up to current July 2020) 3rd Oct 2008 - Fail 13th Oct 2009 - Fail 25th Oct 2010 - Fail 26th Oct 2011 - Fail 7th Mar 2013 - Fail 18th Mar 2013 - (Re test and Failed) 22nd Aug 2014 - Fail 2nd Aug 2017 - Fail 27th Jul 2018 - Fail 29th July 2019 - Fail 24th July 2020 - Fail

See what you mean compared with mine: however NPE 615D has done about 85,000 in fifteen years whereas mine's done less than 12,000 in the same time! It does suggest though that the restoration didn't include the tin work underneath, brakes or suspension, i.e. it was made to look good on top. Mine is the opposite although it had new wood about fifteen years ago and was sorted properly underneath about 11 years ago. It's currently been treated to some cosmetic enhancement to the moment just to keep busy. I hope that my son is still driving mine 50 years time! Finally it's good that the owner(s) choose to keep having an MOT every year to prove it's safe to be on the road: it's not compulsory on cars over 40 years that are not too modified, and looking at the failures and the mileage traveled, it's a good job it was regularly tested!
