It is widely believed that car transporters do not require and MOT or road TAX. This is incorrect, there are a few exceptions but a standard recovery truck with a beaver tail and ramps requires both MOT and TAX, regardless of the Logbook

I've been running veg oil in our old (N Reg) Vauxhall Combo Van for over a year and either use just veg oil plus a generous splash of white spirit or a mix of diesel and vegetable oil.

Set in the very north of the county of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, Royston is a rural town surrounded by countryside. Royston was created at the intersection of two ancient roads, Ermine Street ( A Roman Road) and Icknield Way (a Prehistoric Route). Royston is on no major modern trunk roads or railways so it has not expanded in the same way as other towns nearby that have better transport connections.
