Our Land Rover Series III officially declared a Historic Vehicle

A vehicle must be 40 years old to be classified as historic and I could not show the registration date as proof.

BHPian BlackPearl recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Munchkin is now officially a “Historic” vehicle in the United Kingdom.

The process was quite straightforward. Since our Series 3 is an ex-army vehicle, the registration year in the V5C document was showing as 2000. A vehicle has to be 40 years old to be classified as historic and I was not able to show the registration date as proof.

So I had to get a heritage certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust and had to send the certificate along with the V5C to DVLA requesting for the tax class to be changed to historic.

They needed proof of MOT and insurance which I forgot to send. But they were kind enough to find out by themselves that the vehicle had MOT and insurance. DVLA updated the V5C and sent it back showing the tax class as historic.
