Many many years ago I inherited from my best friend an BSA B40 WD.
It came on an "x" registration, presumably from when it was "demobbed" from the army.
In 2002 I spoke to a very nice man at my local DVLA office (Preston, now gone), and he arranged for it to be re registered on an"E" reg, after it being declared manufactured 1967. This is stated on the V5 log book.
However it also says first registered in the UK 1981 (which I hadn't noticed)
Fast forward to last week, and finally, the bike is up and running and has just passed an MOT. The MOT station saying it's registered 1981.
So I go on line to tax it and it comes up as £41, as I assume it's still seeing the bike as a 1981 vehicle.
Is it difficult (or even worth the hassle) of trying to get it re listed as a 1967 bike (no road tax etc) And how do I best go about it ?
Cheers
