Does anyone know how to go about getting it if my car is registered in 73? Is it automatic or do I need to send stuff to them!? You have to let them know, this is what I got sent from someone on an MG forum who had been talking to the DVLA about this As the taxation class is not already shown as Historic Vehicle on the V5C for your vehicle you must apply by post to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1DZ. The V5C must show a date of manufacture prior to the 01.01.1973. If this is not recorded on the V5C but the vehicle was manufactured prior to this date you will need to produce dating evidence.The keeper will need to write ‘Historic’ in the change to taxation class field in section 7 of the V5C and sign section 8. If the application is successful, you will receive your tax disc within 2 weeks. An updated V5C will be returned within 4 weeks. Not sure where this leaves me though as my tax runs out at the end of March, so either I need to find out if I can start my application before April or I'm gonna have to pay for tax then get it refunded, or go SORN for a couple weeks ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I was told it was automatic upon re-taxing after the cutoff date. Will wait and see.

It was certainly automatic when tax exempt status was first brought in as I remember getting a cheque in the post for the extra months on the Oxford's disc. Having said that the modern computer systems are probably worse/more unnecessarily complicated/broken than the ones they were using in the late '90s. That 'dating evidence' stuff is probably more applicable to returning something to the road that has been immobile for a while and may have fallen off the database.

Ah good point, hadn't noticed that as I was just quoting an email that someone else had got from the DVLA, I'm assuming they said before jan 73 as its the current rule

My babe is from 83, and I have to pay more than £130 for a half a year tax.. This why I can not really apprecciate this. I hope, there are plenty of cars made befor 1974, but maybe much more left from the eighties, and it's not fair at all. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Thats life old chap, You want your hobbies/ fun things have to pay the sheriff for the pleasure, or buy a modern with zero tax ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

That's not life,thats just greedyness. I'm glad, the tory can collect so much money then burn it in Afghanistan and support those yobs, who are vandalising or stealing our vehicles overnight. Even mentioning a modern vehicle is a scandal on this site.. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Ridicolous. What can we expect from Cameron's useless government?? Would be nice if we could expect end up with an educational system where people come out without a ridiculous sense of self-entitlement.

The exemption is not automatically given, you have to apply for it by sending off your V5 and getting the taxation class changed to 'Historic'
You will need proof that the car was built before Jan 01 1974, this can be got from an heritage group or some car clubs, you can get the forms from your local post office.
