I think they should allow more old cars to be tax free.

As for going round the clock jay its a long time since you drove. Cars have had 6 figure odometers fir years

It's not the amount of miles a car has done, it's how it did them that matters!!!! :D:D:D

Thats on the same lines as "its not the size of the gun that matters its the shot it fires":rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D

The A40s c 1952 were Austin Somersets. There was a similar-shaped Austin Devon. The one on the photo is c1962.

I recently read that the Land Rover was introduced c 1948 and the number of those still on the road is a very high proportion of the total manufactured.
