Im soo tempted to buy a 1975 TVR with a 2.5L straight 6 in it.....It makes so much sence..

However, I was under a dilusion that the road tax would be free...

Does anyone have any idea how much it will actually cost??

£185 for a year standard isn't it?

1972 is the cut off

so close!!...I wonder if I can find a chassis from an older car and do a transplant

have you looked at the mpg figues?

bet your looking at about 18-20mpg

Can anyone else confirm that the cutoff year is 72 only i thought it was 1974?

Definately 72 cut off, just praying my april 73 registered mg was manufactured in 72.....

The rule is manufactured before 1st January 1973.

INF34 contains all the information

Although there is a fair bit of support for reverting it back to a rolling date, especially when the rest of Europe has one!!!

As above, if you can prove that it was built before 1973 then its free but you need to back this up.

Your road tax would be £180 p.a rising to £220 p.a

NB/ the 2.5 straight 6's are not that well liked so it should be cheap relatively.
