Same as Jersey cars. Could have been a 1969 but if it was brought here this year it would be declared as a 2012 car and taxed as such. Bummer!!

if it was a 1969 car... brought to the uk this year, tomorrow as an example. (iirc the car then has to attend a uk mot test?) well.. if that's the case, how would it EVER get through the mot? it's a 1969 car, registered in the uk on say.... 10th october 2012 as an example, so... it gets taxed higher, so then has to meet the current manufacturing standards of emissions tests (brought on by the eu...) well if it's built in 69... it's not going to it. then what?

An extreme example with the dates but an older car would be expected to have the carbs adjusted and an aftermarket/custom cat fitted to assist with emissions. Not really an issue! They would then tax the car on it's final g/km figure.
