Petition - classic cars tax exemption date
Discussion
I received an automated response this morning.
Utterly predictable response from the liars currently in parliament.
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, I couldn't find it.
"Remove the fixed date of 1972 to qualify as "historic vehicle" and make the qualifying date on the vehicles 25th birthday."
The Prime Minister's Office has responded to that petition and you can view it here:

Before you rush headlong into this, just stop and think for one minute what might happen, HMG could at a stroke limit use of 'historic' vehicles; not many would want that, and lets face it; youre not going to scrap/refuse to restore your 1975 whatever because of historic vehicle status or lack of it.
I have vehicles that fall into both camps, so have no axe to grind either way, but the likely rsult of a concerted campaign is the loos of the current historic status IMO, and the rsult of the anti road charging petition shows that these are a total waste of your time when you could be doing something in the shed!!!

I've posted this before, and i'll post it again.
When I had a 1949 car, thus tax exempt, I found it really embarrasing to go to the PO for my free tax, especially if someone alongside me was probably struggling to run a car at all and fork out the readies to tax their old banger. Meanwhile i'm getting it free for my Bentley. FFS!
Perhaps a lower rate to reflect the fewer miles covered by classics might be a better idea. But the tax payer subsidising what is often a luxury toy item for the more affluent leaves me feeling uncomfortable. Regardless of a cut off date or rolling 25 year exemption.
