Under the current system, a car has to be 40 years old before its tax class can be changed to historic (and therefore take advantage of free road tax). The good news is that the body is in good condition - the bad news is that the market for Japanese classics is small, compared to - say - performance Fords. Prices for early Accords are currently all over the place. We've seen some optimistically pitched above £3k while others languish around the £600 mark. You'll need to take stock of the market and price yours accordingly. Maximise its chances of a sale by getting it seen in as many places as possible - shows, eBay, newspaper and magazine classifieds.
