When you say classic car do you mean over 25 years old? I thought they were exempt from road tax anyway?

Reason: Can't spell exempt first time round!

Not very many I would bet.

Go now to DVLA Online Vehicle Licensing | Home with the reference number from your V5, do the SORN, then post them the letter about form getting lost in the post. | |

I am buying a vehicle and the previous keeper has already declared SORN. Do I have to do anything?
Yes. As the new keeper you are required to do one of two things:
· Apply for a tax disc
Or
· Declare SORN from the date of acquisition, as SORN is not transferable. | |

Not very many I would bet. | That worries me now. I was given a 1931 Rolls Royce Phantom I in 1982 by a family friend in his Will after I showed an interest in it as a child. I still have the logbook but I've never updated the RK address when I moved over the years. I mothballed it in 1983 after it appeared in the TV miniseries AJ Wentworth BA. I had it expert-restored in 1989 and it took park in several vintage car rallies (not driven by me) still showing it's 1974 tax disc.
Its one of two classic cars I have, the other, also inherited in 1992 is a mothballed 1983 De Lorean DMC-12 (never driven, doesn't go), and neither are SORN,
Whats likely to happen if I updated the RK to my present home address? Would I get years of backdated SORN fines? | |
