'Not taxed for road use'?

the Free parking of Taxation classes  you can think of it as an old timey SORN

back in ye olde days, a vehicle had to be taxed when computerised from its buff logbook to the V5 scheme

but this posed a problem of what happens if you have a project that you know* you will get back on the road some day, so want to get a V5 for it, but is currently in a million bits in the garage

so the DVLA created the "NOT LICENSED" taxation class, a £NIL taxation class that automatically renewed itself for all the projects and vehicles people wanted to computerise/get a V5 for from their buff logbooks, to keep the vehicles on the system

but where not ready to actually tax yet!

 

and vehicles in this taxation class display the special "Not taxed for on road use" message, as otherwise as far as the computer system was concerned, they are technically taxed 

 

and in fact a few DVLA online checker revisions ago, you could see these vehicles get renewed automatically  

under the vehicle status line, they would show "tax not due" then "taxed and due" as below, before reverting back to "tax not due" as it refreshed automatically on the back end

when a vehicle in this taxation class was scrapped, the tax renewal would stop, and they would show as "not taxed" for vehicle status

I do often wonder given that these vehicles are technically taxed on the back end, how this affects the How many left statistics

 

 

sadly these days the vehicle Status line just reports whats in the main box top left so you cant see what these not taxed for on road use vehicles are actually up to anymore!

So the BSA above may have had the 'not taxed for road use' class applied decades back when the system was computerised, was then scrapped but the DVLA not informed, and is now automatically re-taxed every year ad infinitum?

that could indeed be the case/happen!

but going by the 2022 V5 issue date, someone is doing something!, something with the Logbook at least! if the actual bike is still around or not is another question entirely! LOL

Very early photoshop. There’s at least 40 people. Given it looks like war years and even if they may have only been 8 st each , that’s still 2 tons, which would have crushed that suspension.

I don't think they had photoshop back then...

Was perfectly possible with film and photographic paper.  A lot of work though.
