Subject: Re: DVLA Problems
Hi Steve,
This is almost certainly a problem with the taxation class on the V5C as your car has been off the road since before the Historic tax status was introduced around 1997.
As Bill suggests, take your V5C and proof of insurance to a Post Office. As long as the V5C shows a pre 1960 date of registration, the Post Office will tax the car FOC and then send your V5C off to DVLA in order for them to amend the taxation class to Historic. That is what they did with my 1923 Lagonda 11.9 that had been off the road since 1989.
If you have further problems you may need a Dating Certificate (showing year of manufacture) that the club may be able to provide having checked the club record card for the car.
Good luck
Mark
