In The Pit Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 From today (1/4/21) all cars from 1980 now qualify for free VED (road tax) so that means the last of the MKII's the ones from 1980 on a V or W reg no longer have to pay. They are also MOT exempt as well. This will apply to early MKIII Escorts from 1980 too. I think it was Autumn 1995 that the original rolling tax exemption came in at 25 years before being frozen in 1997. It's been a long wait to finally see all MKII Escorts exempt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, just this minute come out of my local Post Office with VistaVan registered as a Historic Vehicle and a year's free VED. Today is a good day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileyMex Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 It's a nice little touch not to have to pay Road Tax, enjoyed that perk for years now. But..... I'm still MOT'ing mine, for the sake of £30 I'd rather have it up on ramps once a year to make sure nothing has come loose 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
