40 year rule

(1/3) > >>

royhall:
Can someone clarify the 40 year rule for me. I have a bike coming up to 40 in June this year. Normally I wait for the date to actually arrive before changing the V5 to Historic Vehicle, but someone on here mentioned you can do it any time in that year from January 1st. Can anybody say that is the rule, and has anyone been successful doing it before the actual date. Cheers.

Bryanj:
If it is 40 in June it will be historic from April 1st next year.

My reading of the rule is that if a vehicle is 40 before 1st January it will be historic from 1st April

kevski:
You won't be able to do it until 1st of April 2020, a 79 bike is not eligible until them, so in some cases the vehicles actually end up being 41 years and 3 months old. I applied for historic for my 1978 bikes in Jan this year only to have forms sent back saying it can't be done until April 1st.

Nurse Julie:
It's April 1st 2020 in your case Roy. Try anytime before this they will reject it. I changed 5 to Historic on Monday and the newest to qualify was September 1978 registered

royhall:
Okay thanks guys. Another bloody year to wait and two for the 750. Guess I had better book an MOT.
