I find that pretty horrendous! Some fan might buy it, I suppose. Why when the reg plate is checked does it say: 'not taxed for on road use' - I was told by the DVLA cars are either taxed or they're SORN'd, there is nothing else ... abd no in-between.

Obviously there is. But what does it mean?

Id assume that just means it's on SORN and possibly also isn't yet registered as historic.

But cars that are SORN'd are show as just that on the DVLA site and surely its age automatically registers it as historic?

Does seem a bit odd yes, I believe though you still have to register a car as historic for the free road tax, it doesn't happen automatically, whereas MOT exemption now does.

There are plenty of radical E-Types out there - you just have to look. Some of them are just plain awful. Whether that's because they're E-Types or the owners are mentally challenged, I couldn't say.
