Classic British cars

[Mr Kobayashi]

Aren’t “classic” cars over 40 years old?

Only for tax exemption.

HMRC defines classics as being over 15 years old with a list price of at least £15,000, but to be tax exempt, the classic must be at least 40 years old. The Antique Automobile Club of America notes classics must be older than 25 years (with cars over 45 years old known as antiques), whereas insurance providers have a wide range of classifications.

Only for tax exemption. HMRC defines classics as anything over 15 years.

I've missed out that the value has to be over 15k.

Anyone have a classic 60s, 70s, 80s, motor, either on the road or in restoration. I've been searching for a Triumph Dolomite Sprint for a couple of years now most are overpriced and full of holes. Bangers and cash, although I love the programme, has given people the idea that the non running rot box parked up in Granny's garage is worth thousands.

Good luck - we got a brand new Toledo 1300 in 1972 and it was scrapped by 1976 because of rust

My Old Plus 8 in 1978

My Old Triumph Spitfire in 1973, outside an old Girlfriends in Gatley.



Invoice for my new 3.0S Capri in 1978.....lol!

Always loved Triumph cars, Stags, TR6, Spitfire, Dolomite, 2.5, GT6, Vitesse.....all lovely.
Mate of mine a mechanic in Stalybridge used to strip TR6's to the bone and completely rebuild them. Won a prize or two apparently.

RIP Nige.

Another couple of years and you'll be surprised, there is a new collectors scene emerging with its own car show, The Festival of the Unexceptional.
You might have a prize winner parked on your drive.
Worth thousands I tell yer. ; )

E type Jag. Classic car, great lines. Still every 5 years you'd have to do a complete rebuild and that costs.
