Er, OK, you MAY register your 40 yr old Merc, under the "Classic Car Scheme" subject to several conditions, the general one being that the purpose for registering it (under that particular scheme) is NOT to use it as daily transport.
For more info, see:

In exchange for a reasonable road tax of $280 a year you get to use it only 28 days a year.
If you want to use it more than 28 days a year, then you just have to register it as a regular car, with no restrictions on daily use, and the road tax would come to at least $3000 a year. This is on top of painful ad-volarem taxes you would have to pay, whether as a classic car or a daily driver.
