  • Why do we subsidise £30m pre 1973 VED exemption! 19 May 2013 (Forum)
    Nor an exemption from the cost of my Shot Gun Certificate despite having it for my late father's gun made in 1919. So why for cars? These aren't old beat up Ford, Nissan or Peugot cars but large "toys" for those with the money to afford a £50,000 Jaguar E-Type or a £120,000 Mulliner Bentley? Hardly the sort of pockets that "need" a VED exemption?
