Cool!!!

Now that's a plan B I like. Scrapyard owners must be loving this.

I have a Big Bloo Volvo available for a mere £1999...

I'll even inflate the tyres for that.

One careful owner*, never raced or rallied...

*Not me... or the other 3...

All old bangers will be worth 2k+ so that's not going to work.

Call me cynical but I can see a black market for old bangers that got lost on the way to the knacker’s yard.

I'm driving one

But buying a new car is not something that has any appeal for me.

Of course it doubles as vote buying too. Those driving very old bangers are likely to be core Labour voters.

Never voted Labour in my life
