Driving A Car Over 30 Years Old

[Guest shaggy]

Restore a rolling 30 year-old exemption to VED, for classic vehicles

Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury

 

Re-introduce a 30 year rolling vehicle excise duty exemption scheme, for classic vehicles. For too long now the tax exemption of classic cars has been frozen, to only apply to those manufactured before 1973. History did not simply stop in 1972. These are not cars which are driven everyday but rather on sunny weekends, to attend enthusiast shows etc.. It is vitally important that we help to preserve this important part of British motoring history.

 

For anyone wanting to try to turn things round, a petition has started, but needs 100,000 signatures to be debated in the house.
