Not quiet a classic car! And there I was imagining you with a pair of aviation goggles on, driving a Triumph Spitfire

Soon to be tax exempt!!!!!!!! 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.

Don't forget the Burberry's trim for that true super-spinney touch! Innit!

You have to call it Desmond. Just clicked the link. f!$% me, that's not the one you've bought is it? What's the minimum age for classoc car policies these day? Could a Golf VR6 qualify?...
lord stuart derbyshire, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 21,916 Daytona 955i (99-01) 13 Jun 2012 19:23
yep gold vr6.. 15 years is semi classic,, 20 years is classic.
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 32,671 Street Triple R 13 Jun 2012 19:23
I don't fancy a gold one, it'd have to be a decent colour...

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 Nowt strange as folk
Chococat Hurt,sad,angry,again, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 32,671 Street Triple R 13 Jun 2012 20:12
Aye, that scrappage scheme swallowed up a lot of decent used motors

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. Media File Media File Media File

I have a friend who owns one of the 16 It's a White one
Exuptoy Maesteg, Mid Glam, United Kingdom Premier Member Posts: 10,941 Speed Triple 955i (02-04) 13 Jun 2012 21:30
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.

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!
