Supra Road Tax

Been pondering this for a short time so thought i'd bring it up;

 

My tax for the supra for a year was £185. But i thought it had gone up to £200 and something. Not complaining mind but thought we had a increase in road tax this year that took it over the £200 mark?

 

What has everyone else paid if you taxed your car in the last month or so?

Ok so we all know about the pre 2001 thing being cheaper etc.

 

What would happen if i chucked a newer engine in my pre 2001 car or an older engine in my post 2001 car ?

 

Would take the micky wouldent it, if i could put a high emmision engine from an post 2001 car into an older car and still get cheap tax and vica versa.

 

Anyone know the answer ?

Well considering you get taxed on emissions based upon whether your car is this or that reg i'd presume that if done properly and declared to the DVLA you would get taxed upon the emissions of that engine and the year it belongs too.....

The gov't and dvla have not got a clue and this whole emission crap is just a joke.

If u had a pre 01 m5 then u pay £185 but if u have one after that date u pay around £440!

Both cars have the same engine/emissions and are actually the SAME car but with different number plates.

The Gov't are lost cases and need some direction making these dumb rules.

Don't stir the pot though - us Supra owners are getting away with the lower rate. :)

(Well, most of us are at least.)
