Just in case you haven't seen this. There is a pettition for Re-introducing a 30 year rolling vehicle excise duty exemption scheme

Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury

Re-introduce a 30 year rolling vehicle excise duty exemption scheme, for classic vehicles. For too long now the tax exemption of classic cars has been frozen, to only apply to those manufactured before 1973. History did not simply stop in 1972. These are not cars which are driven everyday but rather on sunny weekends, to attend enthusiast shows etc.. It is vitally important that we help to preserve this important part of British motoring history.

You never know -  !!!!!

Signed. we need 100,000 signatures tho 

well we are on our way

Not that i am boasting but i am exempt but still think it is wrong, we should have the rolling exemption

 

Signed. Surprisingly good  idea when it came out. Pity, but not a surprise when it was not rolling from outset.

Signed - we're now up to 3,837....  I'll circulate.  Good idea & spot.

thanks

Signed.  If I remember right, it started off as a rolling cut off date, the after a few years the government decided for whatever reason to stop at 1973.  I had a Mk1 Escort at the time, and although registered in 1973, as I could prove it was manufactured in 1972 I got it roadtax free (and even got a rebate for the last years tax - bonus).
