Polo GTI 192bhp £150 - Fiesta Titanium tractor £20 - 1999 Plus 8 £270 last year.
Cheap enough, the pleasure two of these cars brings is immeasurable and boats and golf don't interest me.

I think I may have just had a small escape of gas.
That is indeed more than the insurance on both of them.
Cripes.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

zero on my Fiesta and £140 on my 4/4 sport - about £11-50 a month Bargain!!! Strange though that I pay direct debit for the Mog - but have to renew every year manually because they cannot cope with a £0.  Same for me with my daughter's Peugeot 108, very frustrating. It's for that reason that I set up a Direct Debit for my Morgan last time round. The car became eligible for Historic Class on 1st April and I have registered it as such so, in theory, I now have a DD in place for a zero-rated car. I will have to wait a year to see if it works, I suspect not but you never know. Ian, the banks cannot process a direct debit for £0.00. Much more fun, perhaps, to set one up for £0.01..... That would confuse the DVLA....

I'm in the same boat Peter.... the Morgan costs more to tax than my Range Rover and more to tax than insure it - a scandalous amount.
It's one of the reasons, nudged along by Covid, that I put it on SORN last year and will repeat the exercise later this year too. I will have mine on the road from May to the end of September.

I just paid £165 for mine My 4/4 was also £165 in February. Sorry - I`m behind the times as usual

.....
The powers to be would be better doing away with road tax or a small tax the same for all and then put the tax on fuel that way you would only pay by the miles you cover .
..... It's a nice idea for some people, but for those who have to drive just to get to the nearest shop, it would not be fair I think.
