Sorry guys I must have explained it all wrong. I'll try again.
In this country, registration tax for brand new cars are taxed 300% of factory purchase price. After 5 years they have to undergo a 2 year MOT and pay annually "road tax" (weight, options etc.) for the rest of it's life.
Commercial vehicles are exempt from this tax ,but burdened with pollution and weight tax incl 2 year MOT
If you import a car, reg. tax will be calculated according to year and minimum 190%.
Now for historic cars, 35 years or older are viewed as "cultural heritage" and there are under a special law. Vehicles must be factory original and only driven between May and October. MOT is 8 years. For this we get lower registration tax, annually road tax and insurance etc.
I was referring to Plymouthy Adams. According to him his car is personalized. If you try this here, they will slap you with the 190% tax. You loose you historic registration and considered a normal car.
The shields have nothing to do with it, That's just my disorder.?
