Missed all the bumph about the budget - no big deal ... BUT I`m led to believe if there wasn`t an announcement scrapping the `historic` tax status i`d be due free tax on mi old van ?? Declared manufactured 1975 but no date - registered in the UK , 01 / 12 / 79 . Aquired vehicle 05 / 07 / 93 . I know , i should have looked into it before , but for only 20 quid a month it`s worth every penny
