No mention of an IVA/SVA certificate.

Walk away briskly from that potential death trap.

Don't be quick to judge

This pickup has been proffesionally converted at sometime & has been checked & registered with dvla.

to me, that sounds like it has the appropriate certification.

As a tall person I need the seat to be fully back in order to drive comfortably, looks like the seats would be well forward and very upright to fit the limited cabin dimensions.

According to a quick DVLA check the vehicle has been updated as orange but still registered as a three door car. It should be "car derived van" at least.

An engineers report will be needed to re-register it properly. Considering the amount of cutting about it's fair to say the engineers report would suggest the car/van requires an IVA/SVA test.

So whatever the car/van/death trap sells for you need to add £400 for the log book to be put right or risk driving it without. Break the law or break the bank your choice I guess.

surely the risk of death in an impact in a cinq modified or not is fairly high anyway?

I'm sure I read somewhere that only the old Rover 100 (metro) performed worse than the Cinq.

I wouldn't fancy my chances in any small car designed in the 80's and made in the 90's anyway.

Perhaps my driving a '93 Panda could be perceived as 'having suicidal tendencies'?

This is not a recent build as its the famous 'flymo' cinq which has been on ebay about 20 times in 10 years

Search on here for the numerous threads on it

Wish domeone would put it out of its misery one way or another

I don't think it is, it's been various colours

It wasn't orange till 2011, so I don't think it's the flymo one that you're thinking of.

Many will critisize, why doesnt someone just ask if it has the appropriate paperwork, looks to me like the whole rear has effectively had some sort of bracing the load space is naff so maybe the it has been built properly, I cba to get into a arguement on whether it is legal or not but it looks cool, useless.... but cool lol

£666.66! Says it all really.

I did ask about an engineers report, SVA/IVA but there was no answer.

Hmmmm...

Buy a ropy Cinquecento for £200 hack it about a bit a weekends welding, a bit of filler and some paint £100 and sell for £600+.

So someone's life is worth £300?
