oldest taxable landy?

just had guy i work with ring me, to say his neighbour is getting rid of her late husbands landy.

all he can tell me is its old green and front end isnt like my old 110. and it shorter.
he knows its got tax and test till end of month, but wont go through another test as had long list of advisories last time that never got done.

im thinking its a series 3 or are the later 2as taxable as well?

he cant get me anymore info till mon

cheers.

Tax exemption is before 1st Jan '72, Series 3 came into production mid '71 so the very 1st Series 3's are exempt which suggests you're looking at a Series 3 reg between 72 to 84

As an aside.......Did the tax exemption date change in the budget?

cheers apparently she wants £100 for it.

Bite her arm off.....

take it, you'll get more than that for scrap if it all turns out wrong

You still have to get a tax disc even if its exempt (you get a 'historic' disc), if she doesn't know what it is then she may think its normal tax when it may still be tax exempt...

take it or I will

Yep, snap it up.

Tax exemption used to be vehicles built on or before 1st January 1973. With the latest budget, tax exemption has changed, and it is now for vehicles built on or before 1st January 1974.

This. I could convince my old man for a new project.

Sounds like an 88" Series 3 to me.

You're right.....I'm wrong.....1/1/73 it is

7/1/73 actually there's a weeks extension as they assume it would have been built the previous year.

snap it up, if you decide its too much work etc, let me know and il buy it off you lol

You got a bargain there. If it's t&t then I can't foresee anything major wrong with it. If you don't like it put it on flebay

Depends who gave it a ticket last time. There are still some dodgy mot centres out there which will pass death traps.

Didn't realise this!
