chevpol Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Morning folks, this might be a stupid question, but is it cheaper to tax a RB44 than a Landy? I checked on DVLA site the reg number of a RB on milweb, and it says tax £90, my landy 90 is £121, both for 6months! Is this right? Also, am I correct in thinking that a RB needs a class 4 mot? Mark (Still thinking of a RB44!!) Edited August 30, 2012 by chevpol spelling!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If it's taxed as PHGV then it's cheaper than car tax.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrettkitt Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 thanks Lee, thats interesting, might be cheaper to run a RB44 than a Landy........ Mark MPG for an RB is approx 20 - 22 Not sure what class 4 MOT means but its a visit to VOSA or a comparable site for its MOT. Also don't forget to exempt it from having to use a Tacho at the time of its MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 looking promising, would need to sell 90 to fund it, or a straight swap with somebody? (Mrs Chevpol says if I want one, got to sell either or both landys!!!) Ok, just testing water here, is there anybody on here willing to swap a roadworthy, taxed, tested RB44 (would love pod, but gs ok) for my RAF 90 hardtop with windows?

redneck Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Class VII mot as its about 4 tonne unladen, well mine was, £165 tax, not willing to swap as I've only just got it on the road. I doubt it's cheaper to put on the road, unless you get limited mileage insurance and don't do very many miles, as already stated they get around 20ish to the gallon. They are a lot heavier to drive than a landy as well, and have absolutely no sound insulation, ear plugs are definitely required. Gearbox is backward as well, with no synchro in first.
