Silver paint tax

-Joe · 13th May 2014, 20:48

If I had the power to do so I would introduce a new law requiring all silver painted vehicles to be charged an additional £250 per year road tax.

This would encourage new car buyers to actually choose a colour when specifying their new car.

Drivers with a pre-existing silver coloured car could pay to have it re-sprayed a tax free colour. This would create jobs and boost the economy.

You should try owning a dissapointing grey car, silver is like monogram in comparison.

I know what you mean and I agree to a degree, however I really like a mk2 ZT in silver!!

I think XPower grey is sort of alright. The likes of silver or black is more a choice of a purchaser with no imagination.

MGR did offer a massive choice of colour schemes to those that did have imagination.

I love my anthracite, especially after a wash and polish but it's a pig to keep clean!

Amendment 1 to the Joe's proposal to tax silver cars, grey ones should be taxed to.

Amendment 2 Exemption granted to 75's and ZT's.
