Is This Council Fine Worth Challenging?

So came home today to find this stuck to the windscreen of my charade. Its been parked out the front of my house for a couple weeks since I bought my corolla and theyre trying to tell me its been abandoned. I called them up trying to explain the situation and the rude woman wouldnt have a bar of it. I dont see how they can say parking a car outside youre own house for more than 48hrs can be called "abandoning" it. Now the car is unregistered and I realize its in offence to have an unregod car on the street (like the notice says) but Im unclear as to whether the fine is only attached to the abandonment part of the notice as it appears to be by the way its written. If so I think its worth challenging.

It dosen't look like a fine to me. Its giving you notice to move it. Its just stating that it is an offence to abandon a vehicle so if you haven't abandoned it I would just move the Dawoo (I mean Charade) They are obvious council workers. Cant read or write but can can serve a notice

Did you also get an expiation with that.

That Charade was a good little car pity no one wants it anymore :(

Its not a fine. Once they impound the car, you'd have to pay a holding fee, removal fees etc to retrieve it. That and they'd see it as abandoned if its not rego'd

They probably got the shits on cos they can polish the gutters LOL

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
