Is a 1972 vehicle automatically tax exempt or are there any catches?

This is the page, go direct to DVLA to confirm exactly what they are saying here:
>My car was constructed before 1st January 1973. Am I entitled to free vehicle >licences?
>A vehicle qualifies to enter the "Exempt Historic Vehicle Taxation Class" if it >was constructed before 1st January 1973.
>[If the date of manufacture is not shown on the V5 Registration Document, >you will be asked to produce a certified extract from the manufacturer's >records or evidence from an appropriate vehicle enthusiast's club]
>To license a qualifying vehicle for the first time in the new class, you must >make your application to a DVLA Local Office (see DVLA Local Offices for the >postal address of your nearest DVLA Local Office). Vehicles licensing in the >new class will continue to be subject to the requirement to licence annually. >This will require the production of an appropriate test certificate (if >applicable) and a certificate of insurance in order to obtain a nil licence for >display on the vehicle.
note that yopu still have to have valid MOT and insurance to get the 'Tax-exempt' tax disc that you still need to place in your car window. Do not just put a sticker up saying 'tax exempt' as a friend of mine did, they do and have prosected for such things.
hope this helps!
