The road tax fees in PT. If that is what it is in the UK, that is crazy too.

Getting back to PT tax....... I might have had some good news from ACP.

Apparently it can undergo their inspection & if it meets the (I assume high) standards, it can be possibly classified as being of historical interest and therefore be given excemption from road tax.

If that right and the car does meet those standards then I'll be as happy as a dog with two tails!

So here's hoping!

[canoeman]

Way to go, best of luck, see some serious valeting and polishing on the cards

[travelling-man]

Just a bit of a wash & brush up....... I always keep her looking pretty tidy!

Anymore news on these...should I contact Museu do Caramulo with regards to a 1977 TR7 V8 rally car and exemption from IUC?

ACP have confirmed I can submit the car for inspection etc but I haven't done it yet..... A good idea for you to contact the museum & please do let us hear the news.
