Pressing for changes to the rolling road tax exemption ruled out FBHVC survey Results of a survey carried out by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) show a growing interest in classic cars with owners spending an average of £1,489 pa on their classic". NEWS item on the FBHVC survey Posted: 190524 The All-Party Parliamentary Historic Vehicle Group (HVG) has ruled out campaigning for changes to the present rolling tax exemption for classic cars. Although a recent survey by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) showed increased amounts of spending by owners of historic vehicles and an increase in the number of historic vehicles more than 30 years old, the HVG chair, Sir Greg Knight MP, said he supported the 40 year rolling exemption introduced in 2014 but ruled out pressing for a 30 year rollover change proposed by an online petition. Comment: the 40 year road tax concession was a very welcome benefit for classic cars which clock up modest annual mileages, but pressing too energetically for more concessions could easily have unintended consequences.
