I believe the later ATRs are in the higher tax bracket, £400+ ?
Looking for a BB1, know of one for sale?

Mitsubishi Galant estate/Legnum VR4 - awesome family car. When my son was born I sold my 'lude and bought a Galant - I can't recommend it enough!

The fact that I sold it and bought another 'lude when he turned 3 is irrelevant :)

I had a '56 Diesel Coupe years ago. Absolutely awesome machine! The torque blew you away when you mashed the foot on the carpet :D . Suffice to say I only averaged 32mpg in the car :lol: . I would certainly have another 330d (sport touring this time) but you have to so much older to get a good car within budget.

Unfortunately just taken the call that it is repairable :cry: All my dreaming of a new set of wheels was in vain :lol:

Dont think so. Thought only cars after '06 and high C02 fell in this category? Think its £265 compared to pre '51 of £225

it was after March 2001. I had an astra turbo coupe which was made in April 2001 & ended up in the higher bracket :(
