Cupid Stunt Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 No idea mate, I would seriously doubt it Can't check it like modern vehicles as if it still existed it would be classed as an historical vehicle and exempt from MOT and Tax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
