As you might or might not be aware a vehicle in the UK used to become a classic car / historic vehicle when it reached 25 years of age and therefore became exept from road tax duty.
However, the rules changed and a historic vehicle is a vehicle which was manufactured on / before 31 december 1972.
So esentially the government has put a stop to a vehicle ever becoming a historic vehicle if it is was manufactured on/after 1/jan/1973.
Please sign this petition and get friends to too if you feel it should be changed back to a rolling 25 years.
