It's more that it takes people until their late 20s to realise a utopia where everything is provided by the state, using debt they'll never repay, is unworkable. It takes most people into their late-20s at least to decide they want everything for themselves and f

How? I'm not saying it hasn't, just interested in how this means come cars go up in value.
With classics that span the cut-off date, some otherwise identical cars have free road tax, others get charged ~£200 a year.So if you buy an MGB and intend to keep it for five years, it's worth spending up to £1000 more on a 1972 model rather than a 1974 one, because you'll make that back in the annual free road tax saving. Hence the 1972 car would be worth more in the market.
The change means that OP's 1973 car is now valued like the 1972 tax-exempt one, rather than the 1974 taxable one. Hence it's just gone up in value.

Although I can't complain, it does seem a bit pointless to move the exemption by one year.
Rounds it off to 40 years. Maybe will become a rolling date again?breezer42 said:

Randomly (or not hmmm) I received a letter from some debt collection agency affiliated with the DVLA this morning saying I'd not renewed the SORN on a motorbike I had a few years back. They are after £80.
I wonder where that fine stands now given that it's for an offense that now doesn't exist.

'73 classics have just gone up a few quid then!
I can`t really believe this, some good news for a change on VED on classics, and particularly pertinent to me, as my TR6 NOW fits into the criteria.........
Apologies for the unashamed pic-whoring !
