Classic & Restoration in Dorset: what to know

Historic tax and MOT

Cars built more than 40 years ago can be taxed as historic vehicles with no road tax to pay, and most don’t need an MOT unless they’ve been substantially changed.

Agree the scope

Restorations often uncover more work. Agree a written scope, regular photo updates and how extra work will be approved and charged.

Specialist knowledge

Ask about the restorer’s experience with your make and model, and whether they use original, remanufactured or pattern parts.
