    Series 3 Historic Tax

    Yep, but it doesn't address when the v5c states a build date ( in my case) as well as a reg date . Carnt see the local post office dragon getting her head round this, when she struggles with a fookin large letter....! Sorry I'm drifting off into a rant!! I'm sure there's a way of ringing it...

    Series 3 Historic Tax

    ....so it's pretty straight forward to claim historic tax then, but what about if your v5 states built 1975 ( like mine is ) but not registered till later Any ideas how to claim tax free this way?

    Just thought I'd better up date things a little Brakes are getting better as I thought they would, I've had to re bleed a few times though, got a rear fog light on but not happy with the wiring so will have to re do it.

    Does this look right to you - ebay?

    Series 3 started in 72 I think. Mine is a series 3 built in 75 registered in 80.....
