Is my Ford Capri VED exempt?
My Ford Capri is due for VED renewal and was registered on 1 August 1983. I wish to know when it was made as I think I may be entitled to free VED. The DVLA have been of no help. Can you offer any advice?

Currently, for your classic car to be tax exempt, it will need to have been built before 1 January 1982. If the build date of a car is unknown, this is based on the date it was first registered. It's unlikely your Capri was built before 1 January 1982 but if you can provide evidence to the DVLA that it was then you'll qualify for classic car VED exemption. It might be worth speaking to Ford about any historical records for your car. Alternatively, a club such as the Capri Club might be able to help.
