........there is an exemption for 'historic vehicles' built before 1st January 1973.

It's this lastlast little bit that worries me and presumably all the others who are not tax exempt. Still, Ilive a long way from London and hopefully from any authority thinking of imposing similar measures.

. It currently applies to lorries over 12 tonnes, but will eventually apply to lighter vehicles such as large vans. However, cars, motorcycles and small vans (below 1.205 tonnes in unladen weight) are not affected. For the vehicles that are included, there is an exemption for 'historic vehicles' built before 1st January 1973.



No worries for stag owners or any other vehicle under 1.205 tonnes as they are not included.

Acxcording to the ROM (Page 04-3) the Dry weight of All post '73 stags is 1.250 Tonnes. So over that threshold.
