harlequin Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Are you sure that you have the correct .gov website and not some look alike scam job from somewhere in Africa. It doesn't sound right, they know its a historic vehicle yet are asking you to tell them its a historic vehicle, plus I don't remember having to pay tp have the status changed when I did mine.

Phil Read Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Last time I changed the V5C to historic I simply took all the required documents eg declaration to the post office to licence the vehicle. They "taxed" it as historic without any issues. I then sent the V5C for updating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr graham Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Adrian Look at your V5 there is a section where you can record changes to your vehicle , fill in the one that says taxation class to historic , take it to a main post office along with insurance certificate and they will tax it Free of charge ,send your old V5 to Swansea , you will then recieve a new updated one in the post , they will also give you a receipt. any problems get back to me graham Quote Link to post Share on other sites
