Hi all
I have a Non Q registration Kit car properly registered as a Nova
Date of first registration 16/09/1980 ...now according to the 40 year rule my car should be Tax & Mot exempt as of 16th September 2020 but I went onto the DVLA website to check but I was told 6 months £90.75 & 12 months £165.00
Any thoughts?
Thanks if you can offer advice.
Cheers
Dave

It'll only be tax exempt if it was built before 1st January 1980.

You'll need to take your log book to a post office and get it registered historic there. They take the log book and send it to the DVLA.

I had to do this last year for my VW Camper.

I don't believe you can do it on line.

EDIT - As above check the actual age as you may need to wait another year.

Try Google. All the info is clearly written on the .gov site.

The 40 year exemption rolls forward on the 1st April each year. So a 1980 car won't be exempt until 01/04/21:
