If there is anyway to separate pre and post 1960 cars, that would be ideal, but not essential. It would also be useful to see how many vehicles are currently taxed in the historic class (again pre and post 1960 figures would be useful), so I can see as a percentage how many been submitted for an MoT. The other way to do this would be to have to the figures for the previous year (May 2017 to May 18 of cars over 40 years old submitted for an MoT) and make the comparison that way. | 22/03/2019 |
