how is this tax free?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escor...item27c2445d96
afaik its got to be reg'd here in teh uk for that long to be tax free not just imported and being old gets free tax
hence my old mans 59 caddy needs taxing (been her since 90) but his old 69 camaro didnt because it had been here since 69
am i right?

Date of manufacture, not date of registration - here or abroad.

Old vehicles constructed before 1 January 1973 (historic vehicles)
If your vehicle was constructed before 1 January 1973, you could tax it in the 'historic vehicle' tax class. Further information can be found on leaflet INF34.

How to tax your vehicle in the exempt tax class
You can change to the exempt tax class at your nearest Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) local office.
Renewing your ‘free’ tax disc
DVLA will send you a V11 reminder to renew your tax each year.

If your Dad gets the owners club to verify the year he can get the V5 altered and go Zero rated Tax.
Alternately try transfering a 1990 reg onto it, DVLA will soon wake up and want to change it to the correct year.
My Mustang is first registered in the U.K in year 2000, imported by me at that time, but manufactured in 1988 as proven by the Canadian reg document.
It got an E reg allocated.

got my 54 f100 in the uk now, that will get registered as a 1954 and will be tax free from when i register it, as above, any vehicle BUILT before 1st jan 1973 is tax free, doesn't matter if it was built on the moon, if it can be verified as built before 73 its free
yeah, definitely year of manufacture and not year of 1st registration on our shores, my mates '65 chevy impala is tax exempt, and that didnt hit our shores until about 10 years ago tops
