Tax Exemption: How Classic Is Classic?

By |2021-05-22T09:02:51+00:00May 22nd, 2021|Uncategorized|0 Comments

It’s not our first rodeo – we’ve been in this situation asking this same question before!    There are lots of great reasons to own a stunning classic car.

Expansion of London’s ULEZ Will Hit Classic Car Community Hard

By |2021-05-16T12:03:32+00:00May 16th, 2021|Classic Car News|0 Comments

From the 25th of October 2021, London's ULEZ will expand to cover most of the capital. Any cars, not ULEZ, will have to pay £12.50 per day to drive their cars within the newly defined ULEZ ones after this date. This could see owners of cars registered from 1982 could have to cough up £650 a year to drive their car just once a week. The extension will now cover the area within the A406 North Circular and A205 South Circular roads. This is a massive blow for owners of many vehicles in London, but classic car owners will feel

When it comes to classic cars, they are likely one of the most prized possessions of their passionate owners. Why else would they choose to keep them alive otherwise? Ensuring they are adequately insured is important; while one hopes never to need to claim, protection is vital. What's classed as a classic car? This one can seem confusing, with different rules in different circles. Vehicles over 25 years old used to be classified as tax-exempt as classics.

The Hyundai Pony is a car that has long been associated with Korea's automotive industry. It was the first Korean car to be mass-produced and exported, opening many doors for the country's automobile production in general.
