Historic Car Tax
« on: March 28, 2007, 22:11:34 »
In 1997 one of the first things that good ol' Tony did was put a ceiling on the historic car tax. It is capped to vehicles built before 01/01/73.

There is an small article in the local paper about an online petition via the Downing Street web site.

Please sign it.

This one shows the real truth that the road tax increase is just revinue earning.

Keeping a car on the road fora  few years extra does more for the environment than ever a slight reduction in CO2 will achieve.

If his Tonyship really wanted to save the world the tax would be cut on older cars to encourage people to run them longer.

Damn right, I was in Denmark a few years ago and they think nothing of running cars into their 3rd decade, import duties are so high on new cars that few people had them.

I'd change the rule a bit though, I'd have it so that you can have free tax on a second car over 20 years old, there are too many people with 10 grand restorations just to avoid paying road tax.  What's bad about that is that older cars get scrapped to steal their identities for newer cars to get restored.

I'd also stopp all the classic hot rod c**p, if it's not original it's not a classic car, no cossie YB powered mark I 'tina should get free road tax :evil:
