My 1975 CB400F US
petermigreen:
Although, rather confusingly, exemption from paying vehicle tax is a different cut off date.
"Historic vehicles
Vehicles made before 1 January 1976 are exempt"
No wonder there's so much debate!!
Chris400F:
The Historic Vehicle class is a rolling system - vehicles can be classed thus when they reach 40 years old.
I think the number plate thing works the same way - what you read about cut off date was correct at the time it was written.
I'm sure there is a previous thread that looked at this but right now I'm afraid I haven't got time to look for it.
The Historic Vehicle class has certainly been covered in other thread(s).

If you read all of the dvla article in that link inc the q&a section you will see that the number plate date is fixed and NOT a rolling date. The cut off is vehicles manufactured BEFORE Jan 1st 1975, and that is that!

Wot he said!
Chris400F:
I stand corrected. I must have misread the article. I even confirmed this with the DVLA, who said:
"I can confirm that the eligibility of a vehicle to display the black and silver registration plates is fixed. The vehicle must have been manufactured prior to the 01/01/1975.
There is no indication at present that this date will be changed."
So it's just the Historic Vehicle class (and associated free road tax) that is on the 40 year rolling basis.
