Took exemption form printed from DVLA site, plus V5 to post office about 4 weeks ago, got the Historic entry on a new V5 about 2 weeks ago. They were insistent at the post office that I had to tax it at the same time as declaring it to be historic, I thought these were 2 separate issues, however they were obviously correct in this case.

Yes, it automatically gets 12 months road tax (FOC) when you change its taxaction class to Historic. If its not insured though, you must SORN it to save getting the dreaded nasty letter and threat of a fine. Once you SORN it, its no longer Taxed, so you have to tax it on line again when you want to ride it and obviously insure it.

I did one last October at post office, V5 in my name, mot exempt form and insurance. Declared it historic and paid nothing but V5 saying motorcycle returned to me at the time.
New V5 saying historic arrived last week of JANUARY

OK so I will now SORN it again, need a drink now, what a minefield, thanks for the heads up Julie.

My V5C arrived today showing taxation class as Historic  Vehicle that's taken a total of 20 days to turn round for change of taxation class.
Posted out 31st January arrived today 19th February!

Shown as taxed but they have not as yet returned my Ins Cert.

Kinda dreading doing mine when it's finally finished. No record of it on the system although I still have a V5 but not a V5C, the DVLA took 5 months to respond to my HGV license application and then said they were concerned about my liver so they had to send a questionnaire to my doctor, who was equally mystified by it, I don't drink but my condition affects my liver but it's got much better since I started the treatment 4 years ago. How your liver affects your ability to drive I'll never know. Personally I think my application fell down behind a cupboard and it was just an excuse for the delay.
