Another way for the government to grab money off people, A simple by-annual mechanics sign off would be grand if they actually worry about the condition, but truth being told if the car made it as far as being vintage, it more than likely has an owner that will care for it and keep it in good condition.
As said in the comments theres already a 3 month waiting list to get test, Why add fire to a problem they already cant cope with?
Also is the 30 year rule still in or did I hear they capped it at some year?
Anthin under 1980 doesnt need a test at the moment!
Does that increment every year? or is it capped?
Capped for nct not for tax so tax is vintage after 30 yearsQuote:

Fill in the form lads, say you want rolling 30 year exemption and it could work out for the better for us!
