GlennMR2 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 i thought it was 25 but not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 As far as I'm aware it has to have been manufactured before 1973. It used to be a rolling 25 year cutoff, but I think that the government got frightened about how much revenue they'd be losing, and were under pressure from the environmentalists to get the older, more polluting cars off the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttynutz Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 thanks guys, so basicly, the 25year rule dont apply anymore? only to cars made before 73? regardless in 5 years time, its still be before 73, and not 78 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
