It's a Buick Special & it is everything you want if you into yank tanks. It's up for auction on Fri 22 May, Mathewsons estimate it at £16k - £18k . . . But if no one else is interested. I viewed it & it is immaculate, it has obviously been loved all of its life. Auction entry here : https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/search/?st=buick&sto=0&au=121&sf=[]&w=False&pn=1

Mathewsons sell a lot of dross. More known for their project cars than their concourse ones.
Say, have you taxed, tested, insured or registered that Harley you said you bought the other week yet? Computer still says no……
Just completed my 2025/26 tax return. All submitted now and always a relief when that’s done and dusted.
Good man. Quite why so many people miss the deadline is beyond me.
HMRC should increase the fine to £1000

Harley.
A machine for turning gasoline into noise without the side effect of horsepower.
Don't you get until the end of Jan 2027.
And what about this new thing that you have to tell them every 3 months. But then none of that matters as it's only the final year one that counts so what is the point of the other 3

Tax.
I've been going back. My wife was financially qualified so she used to do it, but she got it wrong, I found as soon as I looked at it.
It's 6 months since she died, but I'm still not up to date with moving accounts about.
Once again, I found HMRC surprisingly helpful.
I thought I'd ring them to say look, I know this is wrong and I'll owe you interest and the fine, so can I pay a few quid now on account?
No need they said, because they had a discontinuous record. In this case that's a euphemism for telling me I was dead, when she died.
The surprising bit though was that when I said there was a lot to do, they gave me a list of all the accounts they knew about which had paid me interest. Account numbers and interest. There were 13 of the bloody things! I had no recollection there were that many. I phoned a couple of places to check the biggest, and they were right. Saved me hours and loads of angst, I can just put in the figures they gave me.
(Oddly, they are NOT routinely informed of capital gains and dividends - you have to tell them.)
So when I get round to doing 2025-6 tax, I'll phone and ask them what they have.
