This is a normal post It is a Polara 500
To my knowledge one of only two in the UK, and only mine has matching numbers of engine/body/colour. I'm not going to confirm the year because it was born when I was, and it is in better shape.

This is a normal post oh excellent!
wonderful Mopar goodness. :)
Question, what are the road tax rules on that? i remember reading on a car forum a few years back that in some cases you can apply to be road tax exempt?

This is a normal post It is tax exempt
But you still have to get and display a tax disc that states: 'Tax Exempt', which is pretty stupid.

This is a normal post oh that seems silly,
but good that it is exempt.
good luck with it, they don't make cars like that anymore, you are lucky to have it. :)

Very fast, but you had to book corners in advance. You'd turn the wheel and eventually it would say: "Oh all right then, if you must" and start to turn. The fastest I went was 110 mph, and it had plenty more, but it was like being on a ship in an Atlantic storm! Never again.
It would have a Porsche off the traffic lights though no problem. And, boy, did I! :D

This is a normal post Oh i am sure it was great fun to drive! :D
a lovely car with some serious horsepower to back it up!
so true what you say about corners though, its a true land yacht... in the US you rarely need to turn, (so that is not needed as a feature, haha) and if you do you have miles to do it in. ;)
a couple of years back a friend from the UK and i went on a road trip from here to NY, he was amazed that we have no corners or even bends on our highways.
