Petition for the mk1 to be tax exempt
Does anyone know if the mk1 has ever been put forward to be classed as a classic car and therefore become tax exempt? It would help enthusiasts save ?150+ a year which could be spent on their vehicle… new clutch etc.
Just interested if anything has ever been done and what the process is of putting a petition forward to the government? May be something to take to the AGM?
Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome…

Don't think the government would approve in these hard times but can always give it a shot.

Don't start the green debate again, its prob better for the planet to keeping an old cars going than the impact of producing millions of new ones…….

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Cover 6k last year that way, prob cover 3-4k this year. But havent been spotted and put on 'was it you' yet… big reminder
Id guess most of us would do more than just official events, so very few would qualify. But I sppose could be a starting point.

Restore a rolling 30 year exemption

If they made the mk1 tax exempt then they would have to do the same for every car of the same age which means they would loose a lot of money which lets be honest they aint going to do.
Another reason why I dont think they would is that so many of them are used every day.

Cars built before 1 January 1973 are eligible for 'historic vehicle class' and therefore exempt for paying road tax in the UK.
But it stopped being a rolling date in 73.

I wont be signing, its not apathy its realisation that it just wont happen, as hanging wont be reintroduced however many people sign anything.
One thing is certain, unless people shout up then nothing will ever change !
