Julie, I understand the tax as I have already done the 400/4 last year.It was the MOT thing I was reading where it stated that you did not have to apply for the MOT exemption it automatically qualified after the 40th year .
What if your bike is Tax & Mot exempt but as we all being good citizens go to get an MOT for our piece of mind and it fails , is it still road legal as i dont need an MOT anyway or is is not road legal as its not road worthy , this is what keeps me awake at night Julie
Thanks Julie i can sleep soundly now
Can I go to the post office and make my bike Historic registered right there on the computer or do i need to send forms off. My bike would otherwise be dure for taxing on about 14th april....

But, if it's not insured, don't forget to SORN it straight away, otherwise you will get a stroppy letter from the MIB.
£68 is small-beans for the 400/4

You don't even have to fill in a V112 now as it is automatically knows that if the bike is old enough to be eligible to change the taxation class to historic, its old enough to be MOT exempt. Up until recently a V112 was needed to be completed but no any more.

They told me to tax it for 6 months and come bacl, which will be in the 41st year and after April 1st. Fortunately its a rural PO and they are friendly- lord help anyone in a City where there are queues...(I was the only one in the Post-Office at the time)We will see!
