Just taxed my B. 295 quid for a year! What a rip off given the state of the roads. And petrol at 205 a litre. Are they trying to force the classic car off the road or what?
My B is 25 and I'm 64. I'll be 79 by the time she qualifies for free tax. By then I won't be able to get in or out of her and there won't be any petrol available! LolFeel your pain. Our 34 year old Fiat does not yet qualify for exemption yet on some years it has done less than 50 miles!
Road Tax & MOT Exemption
Note! this is a rolling 40 year old qualification time.
Question is for me is will I still be alive or able to drive before they move the exemption.
The insurance is the cheap bit. I did mine though the Meercats. Went with a brokers called Grove and Dean for £93.50 includes basic breakdown as well. What's your ins co. and how much do you pay?There will have to be a firm proposition to government to provide special allowances for all Classic and Vintage vehicles. My approach might help you a little. I pay my insurance monthly and my firm provides an option to move, at reduced monthly payment to a status of "Laid Up". I normally put my B onto a SORN for winter months and again pay the tax monthly to reduce the impact on personal cashflow. Sadly MOTs are a single payment demand.
