Classic Cars Still Paying Road Tax | Sheffield News

Thousands of classic cars built in 1985—like Ford Escorts and Mini Mayfairs—are still being taxed despite a new rule that makes them exempt.

Heritage Car Insurance found over 8,300 such cars still registered for tax, including Land Rovers and Porsches. With 1985 being a golden year for iconic models like the Escort RS Turbo and Golf GTI, now’s the time to check if your vintage ride qualifies for tax and MOT exemption—visit their site for a free guide.
