tax exempt

was hoping someone here could answer this, to save being on hold for hours to the DVLA.

Our car tax is up at the end of the month. however, my partner and i were talking about if our car qualifys for being tax exempt or not.

we have a mopar muscle car. a  1973 dodge dart. Does anyone know if a L-reg is tax exempt or not? 
thanks!

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.

The L registration covers 1 August 1972 – 31 July 1973, so you may or may not be lucky.

The documents you will need to produce
• Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) – This must clearly show a date of registration or manufacture of the vehicle before *1 January 1973. If you do not have a V5C or if you think the age shown is incorrect, you will need to produce a dating certificate from a vehicle enthusiasts club or evidence from the vehicle manufacturer.
*Note: Where a V5C indicates that the vehicle was registered up to and including 7 January 1973, we will let you register it as a Historic Vehicle.
• An appropriate test certificate (if applicable)
• A valid insurance certificate
• A filled in ‘Application for a tax disc’ (V10) which you can get from www.direct.gov.uk/motoringforms,
Post Office® branches that issue tax discs or a DVLA local office.
