barrett Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 1 hour ago, LightBulbFun said: I think thats because the rules only changed fairly recently, at some point between 2020 and 2022, before then a historic vehicle did not need an MOT, to transfer the plate off a vehicle it only needed to be of a type that required an MOT (so you could not plate rob Tractors, Milk floats and invalid carriages, etc not that the DVLA has actually adhered to that rule about the later *grumble* because people dont read their rules and regulations and realise that an invalid carriage under 306 Kg is not a vehicle type that needs an MOT!) prior to the rule change all a vehicle had to be was continuously taxed and be of a type that required an MOT, and of course being a historic vehicle thats £NIL rate and you did not have to worry about MOT's either as long as it was of a type that normally would require an MOT it did not matter that it was exempt via age, so it was easy to rob a plate off a vehicle that had not seen the road in 30 years (basically just tax it and that was it) and as such I saw it lead to a lot vehicles old vehicles (like yours I imagine), which had been laid up for 40 years, just being robbed of their plate and just chucked to one side having any residual value/hope in hell of being saved now robbed from it so I am pleased to see the DVLA have done something about it, hence why it will be interesting to see what happened with the Ford! good fucking luck there is what I say to the plate robbers! It was September 2021, which as far as I know was after the rules had changed. I remember being very surprised when I saw it had happened as I knew the rules had been changed to mean the car had to have an MoT. I suspect it just won't/can't be enforced, or else if the plate is valuable enough people will 'get' an MoT one way or another. Maybe you're the person to ask this question which nobody else seems to know the answer to: when did the VED exemption for historic cars first come in? the 'rolling' exemption was abolished in, I think, 1997, but it had obviously been in place for some years before that.

Not an easy piece of information to find - any ideas? funnily enough I was wondering that myself a while back, from a parliamentary PDF I found while doing DVLA research, TL;DR it looks like the "HISTORIC VEHICLE" taxation class we know and love today was first introduced in 1995 https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN01482/SN01482.pdf its a really quite good PDF I recommend reading if you are interested in learning more about the history of VED (also Finally my time of endless DVLA research and trawling through PDFs and other such stuff has paid off on something LOL) coachie, SteersWithThrottle, Kringle and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterH Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 19 hours ago, Braddon81 said: It will snapped up very quickly - it's a very straight low milage Sunbeam shell that needs minor work - its value is in its huge potential as a historic rally car base rather than it being a plain Jane Sunbeam 1.0. The car is being sold in North Wales - they fully know what and how the car will be used. 5k is pretty reasonable these days for a low milage Sunbeam for the rally boys. What I feared, are there any original examples left? Want to snap up an unmolestered Ti if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
