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.

I disagree.

My Spitfire was (and will be again) driven every day to and from work and that's 1971.

But, i agree with the principle, if a vehicle has paid about £5,000 in tax it deserves the rest of its time on the road for free.

I don't see you winning though, why would the government want to re-introduce something which means they get less money?

Assume you've checked the actual build date of your S3 rather than just the registration date? Checked a friend's dad's landy for him the other day to find out it was build in December 1972 - he was very happy to find that out, but also very ****ed off he'd waited over 10 years

Not a massive fan of what we've got, but, at least they've had the balls to say 'the countries ****ed, we need to make cuts so we don't go bust' - can't help but imagine labour would have just kept going digging a bigger and bigger hole until we were asking the African countries for aid.
 
Seems a bit of a bugger to me, you get a thread like this that is actually worthwhile and you get 15 replies, you get some **** asking about the biggestest tyres they can fit to a standard hippo and it gets a 1000 replies. :eek::doh::doh:

Even if you aint interested in a tax free classic, do the right thing and bloody well get it signed.
