Classic car road tax- VED- exemption extended to 1974

There’s good news for classic car owners in the 2013 budget. From 2014, the exemption from VED (road tax) will be extended to 1974. And that means all cars manufactured in 1973 – previously liable for the annual tax – will now qualify for the exemption. Also, SORNs will no longer be annual, but indefinite.
