    I'm planning on buying in the UK this summer. I'm currently driving a 96 Suzuki Baleno which drives well but has no NCT due to a faulty catalytic convertor. (I'm sure replacing the cat would at least double the value of the car).

    I don't really have room for a third car hanging around the house so any suggestions on what to do with the Baleno?

    All suggestions welcome serious and humerous....:)

    I thought as much - not really worth my effort in replacing it
