Here's a question I've been dying to ask.
Whilst it's the same engine, does any of those donor vehicles have a cheaper road tax?
If so, would you be able to apply for a reduction in your annual fee?
Unlikely.. it has to be done at 1st registation..
When there was a dual fuel VED cut..
Vauxhall made LPG an option.. was @
£60..Against the standard @£140 IIRC
Retrofitting LPG wouldnt reduce your VED
Years ago.. I owned 1301cc FIATS..when VED was
'Up to 1300cc.. or above 1300cc'
(Later shifted to 1500cc)
I wondered how much 'proof'you would need to get to 1299cc and save @£40 a year..?
I didnt pursue this (despite changing headgaskets..)
A decade later I owned a new 400cc motorbike.. called a TE410
Shop put it on road.. all fine
A year later 'tax' was due..
HOW MUCH..!!
VED brackets were
100cc,225cc,400cc...and on
Its stated displacement was 410cc ..DVLA figure.. actual displacement 398cc
I just filled in the 'changes' section of
V5C
It was changed without question..!!
Saved me @£40... next year Gov't LOWERED the fees on all bike VED..
Happy days!!
