Can you adam and eve it? Coppers aid last night, the car has to have paint on it, if he sees him out in it again, he will arrest him!

Arrested for having no paint? I ask you, what next?

One day the British policeforce will find something constructive to do with their time. Where's MattH to check the rules.

Jeff not sure if this is correct but I was told some time ago a road going vehicle does not have to be painted, BUT it cannot be red with rust something to to with hitting pedestrians and infecting an open wound.

Its much the same as the Geneva convention, you can lay barbed wire in a war zone but it cannot be rusty in case the troops coming at you with bayonets fixed catch their ankles and get blood poisoning.

No wind up Jeff, not sure if the paint bit is correct, but the wire bit is. Matt will know.

Jeff the best thing you can do is run it around yourself tillyou get pulled, then get some answers , or put a matt lacquer on it .

J, longshot, but does the log book statement match?
colour=autumn rust or similar.

Non updated logbook or possible hazard to pedestrians are the only likely things I can think they could act on.

That's what I was thinking Kev!

Perhaps driving around in a shed is the groovy thing to do these days...

Can you adam and eve it? Billy don't want it painted, he wants rust. I wanted to paint it!

Joe has cars coming out of his ears... His Beetle gets admiration from all the VW clan..... Wings are rusty on the outside, but polished on the underside!

He is making some very nicely engineered lowered and narrowed front beams though. Oh he don't want his cars painted either.

His other half does tough! I got the HOK flake in from california a few weeks ago.... I had to pay for it though!
