The RX-7 convertible just "virtually"[1] failed its MOT because the bodyshop couldn't even bodge the sill repair within the MOT guidelines, let alone repair it in the quality I wanted.
Anybody know what the deal is with driving a car that failed its MOT with the express purpose of getting it to someone to repair it properly? It's going to be some distance (100+ miles) so transporting it would cost a bit...
[1] I pointed the repair out to the tester and asked him to look at it, which he did before starting the test. He was kind enough to point out that it's a surefire fail and hence didn't charge me anything. Top marks.
