Road tax.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Just thought I'd mention, just payed £205 for a years rent on the 3rd gen.
It's a 2001 model, so if anyone is paying more than that (and there are a few) for their Surfs, then you're bally fools!

It's their rules. They must comply with them.

That doesn't apply to them.

They are the DVLA, they can make it up to suit themselves, and your position is either accept or don't use the road.

If I needed to I would.
The manufacture date is on the seatbelt tag for starters. The chassis number will be on Toyota's records to confirm the manufacture date.
They need to be shown the difference between manufacture and import dates.

But as with most companies these days, it all depends on whom you talk to at the time, or whether you're a submissive type.
