service and safety check for foreign registered vehicle

Hello,
can anyone suggest someone who can provide full service and "MOT" type safety check for a foreign registered 80 cruiser currently stored in Cambridge, but leaving for Europe in 2 weeks. A friend has enquired on my behalf and been confronted with all the beurocratic nightmare of UK registration and insurance as a prerequisite. As the vehicle is not staying in Europe that of course is not only expensive but unnecessary.
Appreciate any help
Cheers
Hone

Pre MOT

You should be ble to find a garage that will do a Pre MOT. basically the same as a regular MOT but without the paperwork. Normally done to let you know what is wrong with your vehicle. You could also just book in for a major service, which should cover all areas, but expensive!

I got a non registered bike MOTed in order to apply for registration. The certificate was made out to the frame / engine number.

80 Series check-over

Try Footloose 4x4 in Peterborough (half an hour from Cambridge). I was there last week and they had six 80 series Land Cruisers in the workshop in various states of preparation.

I got my non UK registered Corvette MOT'd on the chassis number.
Just above the box where the Reg, number normally go's they put the chassis number.
In the reg. Number box they put "Not allocated"
