Someone I know bought a Type S with a Tyre R grill and then got the rear middle cluster with the red badge from a Type R also. Looks well in fairness.
Similar to yourself the aul fella parted with his Megane from brand new after 14 years the other day. He says he'll miss it but he admits the E90 he got is a different kettle of fish all together. Just have to drill into him now to pick up the cheaper fuel pump

I was only paying €710/year when I had mine - it was a 2001 reg. Is €400/six months not more expensive!?

But in relative terms I think bang for buck the tax is cheap on these compared to say, an E46 M3 or 350z.
Absolutely - its one of the reasons I chose it myself at the time!MetzgerMeister wrote: »If the car is in storage for the winter, why would he tax it for a full year?
Its €394 for six months on the "normal" tax rate for pre-2008 - and then just declare it off the road for winter? (I'm just not seeing the benefit of "classic tax" here if its €400 for six months)
Now the classic insurance at €500 is fantastic... I paid €2400 for my first year on the S2000 when I had it :eek:0 -

I think he means classic insurance with Autoline, and that he taxes it it for 6 mths for €400, which is more or less equal to €394.0 -
