JVY said:Tony, I agree that the current UK situation on classic tax exemption provides an incentive to ring cars. One of my arguments for introducing a fairer rolling exemption is that it would lessen this incentive. In the case of existing ringers, it might even encourage those concerned to restore vehicles to their true identity?Rubythursday said:The ridiculous situation is brought about the government in the first place. A car 1 day newer than another attracts road tax. Essentially identical cars. In real terms you save 2 to 3 tanks of petrol a year buy having a tax free example, in those terms it doesn't seem worth the trouble to change a vehicle's identity.
I sadly met some new P6 owners last week with their 'J' reg car. Only problem is it's really a late 1975 2200 - the chassis number's still stamped under the rear decker and the correct index plate was still in the windows.
Through no fault of their own they now own a ringer.
