  Classic road tax explained: Tax bands, 40 year exemption, SORN rules 9 Aug 2017 (News)
  Applying to tax your car can be done online, by phone, or at a VED-issuing Post Office. If you are renewing the tax for a car you already own, you also now have the option to pay monthly by direct debit (rather than ‘up front’ for six or twelve months’ tax); this helps to spread the cost but you’ll incur a 5% extra charge.  You can find out more about the cost of VED for any vehicle via this link: https://www.gov.uk/calculate-vehicle-tax-rates Buying or selling your car Car tax is no longer transferrable when you buy or sell a vehicle.

  Awesome New Audi A8s Arrive in Britain 22 Apr 2004 (News)
  The 3.0 TDI quattro is also extremely impressive, rivalling Mercedes S320CDI but with the added benefits of less weight, four wheel drive roadholding and better economy. Driving this car, even with the traction control off, you seriously wonder why anyone other than a diplomat would actually want any more car. Handling is superb, and with a much shorter, lighter, chain-cam V6 engine the car is basically better balanced than the 6.0 W12.

  The MoT Files: Why the test is so important 6 May 2014 (News)
  The reason it was created was simple - during the 1950s, road use boomed in the UK and the number of cars jumped from five to 15-million in less than 10 years.  With so many cars on the road, many of which were pre-WWII motors bought cheap, and run on a shoestring, safety standards were pretty poor.
