I doubt there is any truth in this,this kinda rumour starts every year around budget time.Thirty years is the standard in many countries for classic status.I would have to see proof before i believe it.

All they can do is stop the roll over. Maybe no car after year 1979 will ever get classic tax status?? Like what happened in UK from 1973.

That would be terrible

No matter what definition of what is a classic car one uses, any 30 year old car has earned its stripes and should be able to qualify fully for classic car tax status. Sure, we all know it uses a bit more fuel and it creates a lot more emissions compared to a modern car, but by keeping it going we are preventing the mass energy use waste it would take to produce a brand new car from scratch!

If there's going to be a protest, I'd say we arrive with all the big V8's we can find, park them outside the Dall and let them rip. I was thinking of big block Chevys & Fords in the front row....

I want to do this simply to watch the Green's reaction to "all the lovely trees being killed with the emissions":D And also to drown out the TD's if debating the measure within the Dall

I think we should all be careful of putting up these threads like this one as it would only put idea,s in the government,s heads.

My 1979 car now has a new logbook and a years tax on the windscreen for €47.

I can assure you those benefits will not be taken away.

Is that a guestimate €47?

It's €48, which is 2.127659574% more expensive.;):o

There's a scaremonger thread like this 5 times a year!

There's so little cash to be saved the gov knows better than to risk the ire of the classic community who like nothing better than to "gather".

They'll have enough protests on their hands when they try to save real money.

classic road tax goverment targets !
