Not unless they change the historic vehicle definition - which the Labour
government always said they would not do - and I can't see it being a

OTOH, Peter's post could be interpreted as saying that exchanging a V5
for a V5C would mean you'd never be able to get the tax class changed to
"Historic Vehicle", despite the car being provable pre-73. Completely
untrue, of course, since every single "historic vehicle" that's on the
road currently has a V5C (or should...)
