TVR taxation class
Discussion
There have been discussions on here previously about the correct tax rating/class for TVRs. I am in an ongoing discussion with the DVLA about my car which is registered as a "Petrol Car" with an emissions figure and so liable for £400 pa duty from next year rather than a PLG (Private Light Goods) vehicle which, according to various people on here, all TVRs should be registered as because TVRs were produced by a Low Volume Manufacturer. Under the PLG rules tax next year will be £185.
I have searched the DVLA website but am unable to find any information about the Low Volume regs.
Can anyone explain to me:
1)How do we know that all TVRs qualify under Low Volume Regs? Or alternatively what are the relevant production limits for a Low Volume manufacturer?
2)Where does it state that Low Volume Manufacturer's products are registered as PLG and should not be registered as a Petrol Car?
My latest letter from the DVLA policy dept states that "wherever possible...Low Volume Single Vehicle Approval (is this the same as as Low Volume Manufacturer??) ....including these vehicles in the Grad Veh scheme.... when emission figures are available."
Anyone throw any light on this?

Yes that's pretty much what they have said to me. That's why I wanted to find
the regulations concerned as it seems to me that if we can properly prove that the car was mis-registered in the first place the DVLA will find it harder to argue against re-classifying our cars. At the moment I am only arguing with them on the basis of heresay and second-hand info. gleaned from this site and I would like to get to the bottom of it.

Dear Tony,
Thanks for your input. My V5 says Variant GRIFFITH500 and Version 1. Are you saying there should be nothing entered there or were you referring to other info? I assume there was only ever one version of the Griffith so far as the DVLA are concerned.
Red Griff Roger - I think the info about the other SE was gleaned from the SE website which records all registration dates.

Result. Got a brown envelope in the post which I kept until last because I thought it was from the Inland Revenue but no - it was from DVLA and inside was a new V7 with the taxation class PLG.
Thanks to everyone who has helped with this particularly the chap who first brought this topic to the fore and latterly to Simon for guiding me back from the dead end I had reached.
