In today's budget apparently, the cutoff for VED exempt road vehicles will move in 2014 from the current 1972 to 1974, with a rumour that this will also herald a rolling 40 year-old exemption. Good news for second-gen owners then!
This will make Austin Allegro owners very happy too........... :lol:
Cheers, Martin

Thanks Martin, that'll be a relief (and make even more desirable) for early 2nd gens!

Will keep waiting for it to reach the late 2nd gens now ;)

I really hope this is true, would make my Mach 1 tax exempt! I might have even made a start on it by then!

Just found this article on the Telegraph site, looks to be true! Hooray!

if you use your classic car very sparingly you really begrudge any significant VED- money that could go towards the insurance costs

one of the reasons why I was looking for my Herman (Alpina) was that it was £11 Classic car VED here on IOM and pre 1982 being the cutoff for eligibility for various classic events (we also don't have SORN here nor MOTs- if VED lapses the car must go through the really stringent Test all over again)

My Hartge being a 1991 enjoys none of these benefits- VED is around £200, insurance about the same - and yet I have hardly used it these past 12 months

and it is worth insuring your classic for the road even when in storage for long periods, over the winter for e.g, because of course you are avoiding the biggest expense of motoring (by having a classic car)-DEPRECIATION!
