Here is what Chesterfield found out for us a while back - down to when the car was registered - a bummer as far I am concerned having had to pay another £95 for exactly the same spec engine as the GT4s.
Here is the link to the full budget report:

Sections relevant to the owners of the 350Z are 7.78 on page 191.
Quote:
• raising the rate for the most polluting cars (band G) to £300 in 2007-08 and
£400 in 2008-09; and reducing the rate for low-carbon band B cars to £35 in
2007-08, with that rate then frozen for the subsequent two years;
• raising the rates for graduated bands C-E, cars registered before 2001 and all
light goods vehicles by £5 in each of the next three years;
• raising the rates for graduated band F by £10 in 2007-08, then £5 in each of
the subsequent two years;
• in 2007-08 only, freezing the rates for motorbikes in the lower band with
higher bands increasing by £1-£2; and freezing VED rates for Heavy Goods
Vehicles (HGV), Special Types Vehicles, Combined Transport Vehicles and all
vehicle categories that are linked to the basic goods rate;7 and
• aligning the VED rates for petrol and diesel cars as the differential in nitrogen
oxides and particulate matter emissions for new cars is expected to fall to
close to zero once Euro V and VI emission standards become mandatory.
• Changes to this year’s VED rates take effect from 22 March 2007. All changes
in subsequent years take effect from licenses commencing 1 April in the
respective year.
Band G are vehicles with emissions levels above 225g/km and registered ON OR AFTER 23rd March 2006.
This means that any 350Z registered ON OR AFTER 23rd Marc 2006 is in Band G.
Thats £300 in 2007-2008 and £400 in 2008-2009
Mind you sarnie when you get that GT R the the money you get back from the sale of the Lambo should offset the tax then .......hopefully
