Re: Where do these seals go??
I can confirm these seals go on the under side of the door, bought some similar a while back, only to find the channels were to badly rusted, so haven't fitted them yet.

Re: MOT Exemption
Said i could be wrong. I had my 54 series II gas checked when i took it for MoT last year the car had been garaged for twenty + years the recon engine was 18 years old, it was new when i bought it. the gas test came back and it was running better than some modern pre catalytic cars.

Re: Opinions please on this Traveller
As has been said have it checked over by someone who knows what they are looking for, try contacting one of the branchs near to where the car is i'm sure someone will have a look for you. covering petrol cost doing it that way is cheaper than wasting 5k

Re: MOT Exemption
Yes am in favour of cheaper MoT's for classics as in general there is less to check, but as Mark said above and i maybe wrong the few 1970 + cars i beleive require an emmission gas check.
