Hi there,
I've just bought a Series B Rapide (joining VOC ASAP!!) which has both the buff log book and a V5C. I see that against "Taxation class" the V5C shows "Not licensed".
I have a 1970 Bonneville which is down as a "Historic Vehicle" and expected to see the same for the Vin.
Have spoken to a nice lady at the DVLA who said it didn't matter; both "Not licensed" and "Historic Vehicle" are the same thing - it's just that "Not licensed" was probably the terminology in use when the V5C was issued (July 2005) Both are the same as far as "taxing" declaring SORN, etc.
I don't want to find myself with any DVLA-ordained restrictions on use. Does anyone have any experience of this, or any views as to whether it matters, or whether one is better than the other?
Regards
Jeremy Churchill
