Just had a reminder that my Historic vehicle which is tax exempt, needs to be re-taxed for the coming 12 months.

Cost for 6 months £0, Cost for 12months £0, or I could SORN it.

I have requested that I pay using old Ten Bob Notes and am still awaiting a reply.

If you don't do one of them - you will get fined

I had two come through. Yipee

I have just taxed my H2c ,I can't get my head around this bollocks.
I have four 1975 bikes and a 1973, probably end up paying tax on those as well

That's it

so does that mean that Orville will be historic then tax is due at the end of this month, it states first registered 31 08 1975

Yarp,h1f,h2c.....'re5m....get in!!!!!

The way I read the law, on the 1st april 2016 bikes manufactured before jan 1st 76 will be exempt. So my 76 kh wont be historic until next year (if it keeps rolling) even though it says it was registered on the 1.1.76 and dvla wont accept it was made the year before. They must think the nips are very fast workers! I did read in the dvla blerb that up to 7.1.76 would be accepted as manufacture for 1975 but so far DVLA have not accepted this reasoning when I was trying to get my Z1B manufacturing date revised to '74. I eventually got it through with extracts from Dave Marsdens book on Zeds as mine had an early frame no.

My h2c log book says declared manufactured 75 registered 01 01 75 is it excempt

Yes

Ray I think your bike was exempt last year, as it had to be built in 74 to be registered in 01.01.75.
My 73 Z1 was the same 01.01.73 road tax exempt with othr 72 bike

Yep totally agree. I was a bit slow with my z1b as I thought DVLA would automaticaly classify it as historic. So I lost out a few months. Live and learn........ I will be ready for the KH!

Cheers lads do I send log book off or will post office do it

Go to dvla web site for historic tax and follow the form. You will send in your log book with the historic tax box ticked. Quite simple really it is the muppets at dvla who make it complicated. If you need any more help just shout

Cheers Andrew searched dvla site could not find the form

Just go to post office. They do it all!

Cheers sam
