Getting back to your earlier post shmoogle……

Unfortunately, price is going to have to come into it, as we have a greenie as our minister for environment here at the moment

So, from July this year the tax bands for annual road tax & Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) are going to based on emissions.

What that is looking like it’s going to equate to is a huge price hike for higher emission vehicles, a category which all Land Rovers are currently falling into.

From general consensus that’s going to mean for a FFRR registered after July 1st, the purchase price will go up by about twelve grand, a RRS by about eight or nine grand & D3 by about seven or eight grand.

Bearing in mind that a new RRS SE will currently stand you well over eighty grand

Not to mention that for the higher emitting vehicles the annual road tax for will increase by about a grand. So while it costs me 1,033Eur to tax my current RRS, if I register one after the July 1st deadline it will cost me 2,000Eur every year to tax it

That sounds good enough reason to me

A similar thing is being mooted here too of course, high emitting trucks entering Central London now have to pay £200 per day to do so... and yesterday you will have seen the ex-Chairman of Shell babbling on about how all cars that return under 35mpg should be banned.

Once upon a time, driving was a pleasurable endeavour. Alas no more, I fear
