Had it MOT’d this week, as it’s’ 86 only one more to go then it can become historic!
It’s never had an advisory, been a bit of a thing with me, want to keep it that way.
Outside my favourite pub.

Ms Reeves has her eye on that I suspect. Fingers crossed for you (and us all).

So Ms Reeves budget has not changed the historic status car tax (VED) exemption age. The existing system for 40yrs tax & MOT exemption remains in place. So great news for classic car owners.
Let’s hope it stays that way.

I got mine through last year :D Mine was 40 the year before but I had to wait until the next April as my build/reg date fell after the cutoffs. :(
