road tax exemption

[mikeh]

Hi, have just started a new campervan project, it's a 1975 Toyota Hiace 1.6, will be a few months before it hits the road, but wondering if it would qualify for historic road tax from April 1st this year. If I understand the new rules it needs to have been built before Jan 1st 1975. Is there a way of checking via the chassis number when its build date was, many thanks, Mike.

Years ago I contacted toyota for the build date on my old Celica, not sure if that's still possible .

The club has the "Toyota production frame Manual" listing vin/chassis nos from late 60's through to early 80's.We can tell you the build month of your Toyota as long as it was originally destined for european market.
