Hi there all you 75 people.Well i've just re-taxed my black 75 conny hi-line with 17in alloys £235-00 as it's an auto but well we have to pay so we can enjoy one of the best cars ever built. It's only money & so easy to tax a car over the phone or internet.

Thats not bad. My ZT190 was £425 when I last taxed it last September. My new BMW 335i with 306 bhp is just £245... Crazy!!

What year is your 190? My renewal came through the other day and it's for £245.

I used to play golf. Twenty quid a week for a Saturday morning of two rounds, including a bacon sandwich and coffee. That's One Thousand And Forty Quid A Year. Getting cold, wet and muddy. That's before we get to replacing lost balls (should I have 'asterisked' that?), tees, and broken clubs. No contest.

Just re-taxed my own 75 1.8T Connie and same price at £245.00, palls into insignificance when compared to AA quote for insurance at £5167.00 for myself with 11yrs NCB and 21 yr old son with 1-yr NCB - around 4 x last years insurance with another company, looks like they'll no switch this year!

Yep the pre March 23 2006 registered cars were given a temporary repreive untill 01 April 2011. My 190 was registered 01 March 2007.

As far as I know all KV6 engined cars registerd after 2001 will fall into band 'L' and the V8's will fall into band 'M' - £435 ouch!!

I've yet to find any official evidence of a time limit on the exemption that was granted, i can't see how they could get away with removing the exemption in such a short timescale.
