Going to have to sell the FHC

Postby john » 14 Jul 2012 15:27

But dont worry i've still got the Grinnall..

Ive decided even though i love the FHC as it drives like a new, and is the smoothest engine i've encounterd... to own and tax three cars is mad..

I'm basically trading in the company car for a Alfa Brera 2-4 diesel so i really think the FHC is going to be neglected

so when i get round to it i will tax and MOT the car ready for it's new owner.

That's a shame John.

That's one very nice coupe for someone.

Or move to BC.[8D]

You can register up to three cars on one set of collector plates ($250).

Hi F1 Spider

What are the limitations of these plates? Here in Manitoba, the car clubs are pushing for the same idea. Can you drive the car to work once in awhile? Is there limited miles and can the car be modified in any way?

Just curious

Or move over to the NL, vehicles produced before 1987 are tax exempt here [:D]

We have a simmilar set up for "classic car" plates here in Quebec ....honestly it's a PITA , and hardly worth it.... we also limited to non-highway use.

Personally I prefer regular plates even if it's expensive , and simply take my car "off-road" during the winter months to save a few bucks.

Here in BC you have to have another car registered as your daily driver as you can't drive it to work or school but other than that you can drive it any time, anywhere (including for me, to San Diego last summer) with unlimited mileage. We don't call it "tax", the $250 is for licence and insurance (Provincial, not private).
