How best to tax an older car?

Hi,

I'm looking at buying an old car - late eighties early nineties. Something that will be a classic hopefully. Is there some way of paying reduced tax as it would only be used a couple of weeks a year? Those weeks might be spread out across the year.

Thanks

Jim

BMW 530d or 520d?

Hi,

Thinking of buying a 07/08 BMW 530d M Sport with 60,000 approx. miles. Have been given all negative reasons why I should not buy a 530d over a 520d. Too thirsty! Tax too high! Repairs very high! Whereas on blogs from UK guys are saying they would choose a 530d over a 520d anytime.

Any advice?
