Blast! I've Cut Off My Cherry!

Not sure if this classic Datsun is a Cherry or a Sunny. Nice styling, which I will try to capture better if I see it again tomorrow.
The green/yellow triangle in the right hand corner of the windscreen is the tax-exemption symbol.
If you have a car which is 25 years old or older, you don't pay road tax.
This is part of 'joined-up government' in the UK.
They make petrol expensive to discourage pollution, but give £170 per year back to people who drive ancient, inefficient, polluting vehicles.
And I've seen the tax-exempt sticker on modern cars too.
The wankers must think the specialist Traffic Cops are bloody thick or something.
I'd love to see what happens when one of these tax-cheat jokers tries to talk his way out.
"Oh yeah, my Renault Clio is twenty-six years old, actually".
