Do the words "Goalposts" and "Moving" spring to anyone else's mind?

Yet another stealth-tax.  Don't forget there was also a rolling programme of 
free road-fund licence (car tax) for any car over 25 years old, with a view 
to preserving motoring heritage.  As a car turned 25, so the tax became free 
as it was re-categorised as a Historic Vehicle.

That was until this government got in, at which point a cutoff date of 
January 1973 was imposed, although I believe any car registered until about 
April 1973, it can be argued it must have been manufactured during 1972, so 
is still tax free.  None of this helps us, though, but there was an article 
in Practical Classics last month on the subject, I believe with a campaign 
to reintroduce it.  If it were re-introduced then any car manufactured up 
until January 1980 would count...

Unless, of course, the limit *has* been increased to 30 years, which would 
take us to 1975, and Mr. Brown would still have an extra five years' cars' 
worth of Tax to spend as he sees fit.

Which mag was comparing 1982D to the Lotus Esprit?  I'll try and pick up a 
copy...
