thanks mate, is all the 200s the higher tax bracket? ie £250 for six months

 

[nutnutwelshman]

No I think £264 for the year but around that

Welcome to the site.

200's have a better gearbox, full fat has all the nice goodies, like auto wipers and keyless entry. Both 197 and 200's are in the same tax category

went and looked at a 200 cup and the tax was £250 for 6 months on a 2009???

My tax for the year on my 200 which is a 2012 is 260 for the year not 6 months bud

I may have looked at it wrong I hope that's the case as I don't want to be paying loads for the tax

Hi mate, just wondering when you say to use on the track? Does this mean only for the track I.e a second car as you will? If so get yourself a 197 save a fair bit cash for some good tyres & brakes, if it's a full time vehicle for you I'd go for a 200 at around 'run in' mileage with all the goodies. Also tax for either car is around £260 for the year 100% bud.

Recently done my tax and was like £143 for 6 months - that is on a 200FF Cup.

Its actually up for sale too
