Just wanted to share that I took the PI for its first MOT (Controle Technique) this morning.
Its worse than going to the doctors, but I’m delighted to say that the car passed with flying colours. Not a single observation or item to correct! I knew it wasn’t bad, but this is a great start to 2026. Now I’m just waiting for the new registration docs and I can get out and about in earnest.
Cheers, and thank you all for the advice over the past 12 months. There are still some things to do, but the hard part is over!
Champagne!

That's great news - a pass with a clean bill of health is always a good feeling and if it is following major repair work, it brings a great deal of self satisfaction! Well done!!

Splendid work. Shows it is all worth the hassle in the end. Enjoy it.

Re: Champagne!
And a CT is every 2 years? Or even longer for a Classic?
Good news indeed!
