Aeromax


I have lost track of which car was which but I do know that this was David's car and was a complete write-off. I also know that MMC would not supply the parts to repair the write-offs because they were not repairable to a factory standard. As per my original proviso, I cannot recall if this car was one of them; however, my suggestion would be buyer beware and be VERY careful who checks the car out.


Reading this thread helps to refresh the memory.

As for the Aeromax in question, the ad quotes it as being Cat B, which as per Dean's comments, I have always thought meant 'to be broken and not for road use'

"Category B The vehicle may not be resold. It will have been damaged beyond economical repair, usually with major structural damage. The DVLA will require Notification of Destruction but parts can be removed and sold on."

This certainly matches up with my recollection of the story surround car #38.

(anyone vaguely tempted, please read the original thread)
