Just heard from my Dealer that the M3W tax will be £215.00 p.a. (plus £55.00 which I suppose is additional for the 1st year). As far as I'm concerned that's a pretty good result and he goes on to say that the necessary documentation will be with him next week to register my car.   will try to be faster (belgian ministry is on strike monday, so if I loose=their fault)

Presume then that the M3W is still over the 450kg weight limit, and unable to be taxed as a Trike. What seems odd is that I can't see £215pa in the list of rates on the DVLA for modern vehicles at all (unless I'm missing something which is more than possible!) Malcolm T

I couldn't see this rate, apart from pre-2001 registered cars. I'm told that it will be registered as "M3W Body Tricycle, and wheel plan 3". So far I haven't been able to confirm this information from the Works, so I'm as confused as you!

Does that old law still apply that you can drive a 3W on a motor bike license . Just a thought as it used to apply to the Reliant No! Until Oct 2000 if you passed a motorbike test, you got B1 automatically. B1 is a cyclecar 550kg or less. Pass a motor bike test now - you don't get this category. A car licence, group B includes B1. New Morgan is a B1 vehicle. Note the 550kg weight only applies to the licence needed, and not to the taxation or MOT class. The new trike is a class 4 (car) MOT, but few class 4 MOT stations will have the gear needed, so the new owners are best advised to seek a MOT station that is class 3 (light three wheelers) and class 4.

The plot thickens! We are lucky to have a 3-wheeler owner to explain the intricacies to us Martyn! At least we'll have 3-years to get up to speed on the MOT requirements.

I was starting to get information overload before you listed those two...  Work wants me to take on a number of courses that have no relevance to what I do now, or am ever likely to do in the future. I'm not getting very far with my environmental scrutineer training... There's only so much one poor little tired mind can accept. My brain needs a defrag...
