The j-spec TT is the same tax class as my Astra van that is a 1.7 turbo deisel. Dont make any since really as seeing my dad has a 2.2 omega and is paying £190 for six months just because it's a newer car. Very strange that a uk-spec is more then a j-spec to tax

The taxing worked in such a way relating to displacement until 2001 I believe. For example, taxing a pre-2001 Supra TT (3.0 FI) would be the same as taxing a Civic EK9 (1.6 NA) as the last banding stopped at 1600cc. In other words anything pre 2001 (and post something, I forget what year) that are 1600cc or above cost the same to tax.

 

Hopefully someone can confirm/correct that.

 

I'm around £210/£215 on mine for a year. Can't remember which. :)

Correct.

 

A few members have been shafted due to their cars being registered after 2002 though. My car was registered in 2002 but it was done properly in that the information shows that it's an import and that it is in fact older than this. Supras that you see with 02+ registrations will most likely cost around £400 per year to tax.

Costs me about £100 to fill the tank up. I work 9 miles from home and take back/side roads to get there and I use about one and a half tanks a month.

You will be about £65 per tank and you will get about 300 miles to a tank.

 

London Driving - make that 250miles per 65 ltr at a cost of GBP80 to fill up (V Power) - thirsty cars these - like pretty much most sports cars - including modern ones.
