Hi phil, and welcome.
I've recently changed one of our cars to historic.
I couldn't be bothered with all the speculation on here, or through clubs.
So One phone call with the DVLA, I asked the very simple question. What do I do to get the car changed to historic.
And they told me what to do.
It went something like, download a V70 form, fill it in. And give it to you local post office that supplied tax discs. They will send it in and your V5c will come back as historic.
When I took the form for our car to the post office, they threw the V70 form away. Suggesting the form is only for cars just turned historic. Not for 1920s 1930s cars.
It took longer than I expected, 6 weeks. But sure enough the V5c is now taxation class historic.
Try it. Give them a call and ask the question. Tony.
Ps, nice shed, but plug some gaps. And put some cheap padded flooring down. Before you start the car. Draughts and damp will damage the restoration, quicker than you can do it.
