no he's not right, only cars pre 1972 are eligible for free tax. when it was originally introduced in 2001 it was going to roll forward every year so that a car stopped paying for road fund licence after 30 years but this was very quickly stopped when they realised how much revenue would be lost.

Aye it's ridiculous really. A 1972 motor is a "historic vehicle" but a 1973 one is not. To be honest the saving of a year's tax when spread across the total running cost of an old landy is insignificant. Nice not to have to stump up every year though.
Only a little smarter than the beer drinker ....
2001 eh?

its pre January 1973 so it can include cars from 1972
it was the budget in 1998
and it was only ever 25 years... not 30.

Just a word of warning when you do go and tax it, it says 205 on your reminder. But the cnuts have put it up to 220...!
