You can tax with a faxed or emailed cover note.

Car looks great by the way.

I'd have been all over the vx220 though.

Thanks Carl will also post some pictures tomorrow some good news on the front bumper front too I've heard from another MR2 owner that it has indeed just faded due to it being plastic! They are prone to going like mine has, should polish up with a lot of hard work so I'll have a go before taking it to the spray shop!

Well excited about having a quick car again been a year since my last fast 'un!
