Fast Marina Magazine

just wondered if my dads blaze 1.8 coupe will be tax free this year
reg no.PNR 613M
Registered 5/02/1974
chassis no.MH2S95355854M

Will I need a heritage certificate to try and prove it was made in 1973??
best regards
Barry

Hi Barry all the details on how to claim and the cut off chassis numbers are on the club website.

Your dad's chassis number is actually

MH2S9S - 355854M

The first 5 is actually an S. Based on this I reckon that your dad is in luck!

Hi Barry,

Looks like your dad will be making a decent saving each year

whoops sorry about chassis no.
Great i'll get the paperwork of him and get it sent off
I thought it might be as this car has factory optional extras fitted
black vynil roof,wipac reversing lamps,towbar,heated screen and reclining front seats on a super de luxe ,ive never seen another super coupe with vynil roof.
I think the original buyer for the car must have ordered some optional extras and was probably at the factory a bit longer before being registerd,ill have to get some pics

Barry please read the notes on the club website, it's not straight forward. There is no formal date for the start of the new Historic Vehicle date yet, so there is no confirmation that it will be 01/04 as the car magazines have been banging on about. You are also going to need a letter from the club confirming the date of manufacture.

Cheers chris will study it a bit more
so the extra year you can get might not start in april then so best hold fire a bit longer
