I read an interview with Lord Montague (Beaulieu) who was consulted on the free tax debate and was apparently instrumental in it's introduction. He says that there's a vast increase in numbers of vehicles left on the road after 1973 making the re-introduction of the rolling date unworkable due to the amount of lost revenue.

But why would that be? We're talking rolling 25 year thing here. Sure there would be some lost revenue, in the initial incidence because it has been frozen at 1973 for so long, but natural selection dictates that the number of cars over 25 actually on the road is a small percentage of the total. Also, how many 70's cars have been scrapped or neglected purely because they don't meet the current 'tax-free' criteria. Historic status carries a hefty premium at present....  |

I posted up some numbers only a day or so back. I don't think 1973-1982 cars are even one percent of the cars on the road now. Its not going to hurt their revenue much and it will hurt a lot less if they go from 6 months at a time discs to 12 month discs due to the high cost of issueing discs.
The suggetsion that there a huge number of 1970s cars out there on the road is a red herring. C'mon, how many do we see and we are actively looking for them?
