Soon to be tax exempt!!!!!!!!:angry: Why do so many dick heads keep stating that s!$% when they sell a car.

Tax exempt status only applies to vehicles built or registered pre 1973.

I'm sure the scrappage scheme could have seriously had impact on a lot of older motors.

They must be thinking, why on earth should I keep an old motor when it could be traded in for a quick buck ... of course totally forgetting about the value of tax exemption of course....plus then there is the classic value itself which sometimes has exceeded the trade in benefit by a significant amount :speechless: Nowt strange as folk

The website at the top of this page. I think they only list the ones currently road registered or maybe sorned as well.

Here's mine. All period kit on it too. Fully rebuilt engine and gearbox too with a St2 Irmscher head.

My BIL has one outside of the 16 (It's not been on the road for over 10 years or isn't sorned but had a full bare metal rebuild before that). He also has a 99 R6 bought new with 3k on the clock which hasn't been on the road for over 9 years.:frown:

I'd love another but finding one as clean as my last one is gonna be expensive now. They're upwards of £4k for a nice one now. Anything less is gonna be rotten or ragged to f!$%.

....or both!
