In NH, as in ME, with regular cars there is also an excise tax based on the
car's original price. But it hits a minimum off after some years (10 or 15).
In NH, there is no sales tax, so the excise tax you pay may be a little higher
than in ME. There is still a registration fee for the plates, and an inspection,
and insurance.

NH does have registration and plates for antique cars, but my BN2 has been
off the road so long I don't know what the fees or restrictions are.
