Tax Exempt Facts |
|
|
 |
After looking at a few exampies I stumbled over this one which was being sold by a classic
car garage. (repairs garage, not sales garage) in Worthing - Simply Classics.
The owner had emigrated and asked the garage to sell it for him.
The
body was solid, apart from an outer sill. It only had 5 owners and
some huge bills
including a bare metal respray in 2000, a new cylinder head, brake
master cylinder and front calipers. |

Applying for car tax was a fiasco as the MOT certificate had the registration number minus the last character so the post office wouldn't tax it. Futhermore, the MOT inspector had put the body number and not the GAN chassis number on the certificate! The result of all this was a visit by the local Dept of Transport inspector.
Ownership now consists mostly of repairing little foibles its had since I bought it! |
