I've never owned a a car that was fifty years old or older, so I've never worried about the upper limit.
I've owned a few that looked like they were fifty...

The thinking is that once a car gets that old you are obviously going to take care of it; which I do. At 20 years they become Road Tax exempt as well.

I do also.
Unfortunately the same can't be said for the other twenty owners!
(Though not with the current one - One elderly lady owner, I even found her disabled parking badge still in the car when I got it home...)

I am not sure what the tax exemption timeframe is but it isn't 20 years - I still have to pay road tax on my '76 vehicle

You're right, it's pre 64; so 40 years.
|
|
|
|

I think its pre 73 so whilst its 31 this year next year it will be 32 etc. its not rolling but a fixed point
(it used to be older than 25 years but that changed in 97 hence the pre 73 date)

I checked before posting my correction and re-chicken says built before 01/01/74.

I have a '76 VW Camper - MOT time is always rather fraught
|
|
|
|

Yeah - I was really chuffed that it passed straight away.
Then the handbrake fails immediately afterwards...
Still, couple of years ago, it failed as I parked up in the MOT bay for the test! (Different car, I should mention)

I remember a mate getting his Mk1 Escort though the MOT which surprised us all at the time as it hadn't an engine in it at the time

Yes.
Now, do you want the Blue pill, or the Red pill?

Probably.
If you don't have BACON, then a SPAM would do.

Two things:
1) We have BACON. It and Coffee are the two essentials of life.
2) SPAM is not now, and never has been, a BACON substitute. In the same way that pigs trotters are not a Beef Wellington substitute.

The German one is whatever they put in the Lemsip to recover from that flu they apparently had

It was the most embarrassing semi since watching The Crying Game

You can be glad England didn't make it to the semis.
