*** NOTES: As of November 2012 Pre 1960 Cars do not need to be MOT'd. That's
right- you don't have to even take the car to the MOT station. If you decide you want to do a physical Test still you can for the normal MOT Fee if you want to be extra sure!!
Also NOTE:The current MOT was done like a normal car MOT in June last Year.(no flukes here)
So after -Nov 2012 the MOT fee-£0 - and Road Tax-£0 as it's registered before 1974 .
Classic car insurance fully-comp is cheap normally between £80-£150 a year ***
