It is ok for the original owner to allow the tax to expire and not tax/SORN them but a NEW owner post indroduction of SORN has to SORN. -- Peter Hill Spamtrap reply domain as per NNTP-Posting-Host in header Can of worms - what every fisherman wants.

Why, you keep saying this but it makes no logic (considering what you are replying to), are you saying that the DVLA do not know when a vehicle was either made or first registered. Are you suggesting that in 20 years time cars from the mid to late 1970s, when they would be between 50 and 60 years old, won't be considered 'historic?! -- Regards, Jerry.

I've tried. They don't seem to want to know... They had to be taxed when the SORN regulation came in to force for the vehicle to need to be SORNed, that means that if the vehicle was taxed on or after 31st Jan 1998, page 17 of DVLA booklet V100 (pub: 2/09). -- Regards, Jerry. |
