showcarz Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortal...event=link.next thats the link for the reg on my landy but would it be tax exempt as dvla says Old vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973 (historic vehicles) All vehicles except buses and lorries used commercially, that were constructed before 1 January 1973 may tax in the 'historic vehicle' tax class. basically if the link doesnt work mine was registered on 1/3/73 and the cut off for building was 1/1/73 so wouldnt that make mine tax exempt as it would have had to be made before it was registered? cheers guys its really confusing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 if you can provide written evidence to the effect it was built before the cut-off date, then I would think DVLA would honour it, even they can't argue against wriiten proof, IIRC contact the traceability dept at Gaydon, heritage museum. http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/sec...hive_index.html ://http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co...index.html click on the certificate link on the upper right & in the list is Land Rovers all models upto 1989, might even see if I can get on for my 1989 110.

Les Henson Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 A heritage certificate was £28 last I knew. The DVLA nearly always accepts the heritage certificate as proof of taxability. They can order an inspection of your vehicle though. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
