Wife has got classic car which she just uses in summer.

Can a 1978 Datsun Cherry really be considered a classic car?

It can when the rear half is a Ford Cortina.

So going back to the bit about classic cars.
Can you still declare sorn and get refund on tax (Even though theres no physical tax disc now)?

Wife has got classic car which she just uses in summer. In the past, its insured all year but then in April, but 12 months, just before end sept get refund and declare sorn. repeat next year.

Historic vehicle duty is free (1972 or older) so why claim a refund for something that is free? Or have I read your post wrong?

Not that 'classic'.

Classic enough to get classic car insurance but not classic enough to get free tax. Its a 1986 mini.

Ah, I get ya. I did that with my MK2 Gti for two years I only paid 137 per year, of course it was garaged. Then someone twigged and it went up to 350py.
