Hi Paul/Martin/List The 25yr rolling road tax exemption was scrapped by the then new Labour Government in 1997/98. Like you say Martin, they probably realised how many older cars were still on the roads and saw a money making opportunity. Magazines like Practical Classics and various organisations have been campaigning to bring back the 25yr rolling exemption including taking a huge petition to Westminster. Gordon Brown is however sticking to his guns here. The Conservatives have promised to bring back the 25yr rolling exemption though...... Well thats enough politics from me, I'm off to work now!
