So worth all the effort in 1775 then?
Yep. So we thought. They get us all sorts of ways with tax. Virginia is the first state I have come across that makes us post a sticker saying we paid a tax.

We have a property tax on vehicles in Italy (except vintage vehicles where there is a small road tax. You have to pay it even if the vehicle is off the road. On a 2 litre 150 HP car it is about €310 a year. No tax disk needs to be displayed. I have just realised we have another, but similar, problem. In Italy you must display your insurance voucher. It is a square piece of paper about the same size as a tax disk and would be easily damaged by water. The only thing I can think to do is stick it in the bottom corner of the windscreen using a slightly larger square of clear adhesive plastic sheet to cover and protect it. I must see what other Italian Morgan owners do.

Gambalunga, We have the same issue here in Ireland. I carefully cut mine into a circle making sure all the relevant text is showing and then insert it into a motorcycle style tax disk holder which is fitted to the bottom screen bolt. It faces forward slightly so is not a problem either opening the door or the bonnet.

I have not been to Virginia, but imagine it is wonderful Morgan country. My son spent time at CU Boulder and when I visited, I would have love to have had access to a Morgan to explore the mountains.

I've never been to Colorado, but yes, it must be great scenery to view from a speeding Morgan. I have seen a few Morgans advertised for sale online in Colorado.
The Virginia Piedmont area is a fantastic driving area. I love it. There are areas along the coast that are a bit flat, so the rolling hills are where I would rather be in the Morgan.

It would be great to see some photos at some point. The lovely Lady Budster has spent some time in Virginia and loved it. Bud

I have crossed Virginia by train. Great country. But what about the smoky mountains once you get past that awful town of Pigeon Falls or around Rock City & Chatanooga

How many Morganeers have had their tax discs stolen off their windscreens in the past ?
I am suprised that this is such a popular modification. I had no idea.
