really need help pls

hi all how can i find out the manufacture date of my bedford cf it was registered on the 13/08/1974 i was told by the previous owners son that just before his father died 8 years ago that his father had been trying to get historic tax for the van as he was told that the van was made before jan 1973 how would i go about finding out when it was made. i have been told by the dvla to contact the bedford owners club and they might know

many thanks

I'm pretty certain that it's not the year of manufacture, it's the date of registration that qualifies the vehicle. Cheers, John.

Historic tax is given to a vehicle manufactured date not registration,

The full Vin no will be needed.

thats what i thought but the lady said if it was manufactured before 1973 it would qualify for free road tax because it was made as a van complete and then taken to the coach builders to be converted

Any car built (as opposed to registered) prior to Jan 1 1973 qualifies to be a Historic car in the eyes of DVLA, and as such qualifies for zero rated road tax. Originally the cutoff was meant to be a rolling 25 years, but the Labour government at that time, quashed this, setting the cutoff for Historic status as 01/01/73.
