    OK. The early ones. Or the US models.
    I didn't think the LR3 petrol was available in the UK.

    One's a 58 plate, the other a 57 so no new laws as far as I'm aware...
    It’s about emissions. VED is based primary on those. Look at the NOx figures on each vehicles V5.

    You can't buy a LR Discovery that isn't diesel.
    I'm pretty sure the same for a Ducato.

    If they were newer, it would be the tax on buying a car with a list price > £40k - even if it does 100mpg, you pay an extra £320 a year for 5 years.

    It's because the party who want to encourage businesses don't want those businesses to be able to sell good stuff unless their customers fork out even more tax.
