  • Tax exempt status

    Message originally posted by: Bryan Newell
    Just prior to SVA I contacted DVLA about correctly registering my Marlin as it was down as a "Triumph roadster" as it is built from a 1600 Vitesse.
    It turned out to be no problem and I got to keep my Tax exempt status under the points system as all the major bits were from the donor.
    I am now rebuilding with mk2 2ltr and am wondering when I notify DVLC about the change of motor whether it might change the tax status?
    I rather like the idea of not having to pay the blighters 160 quid every year!!.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated
    Regards
    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,

    I've always just opted not to rock the boat as far as the "trimph sports" registration of my G-reg Trimph-based Marlin. The MOT guy I go to each year doesn't raise a fuss, so I'm not too worried.

    I know that the V5 does explicitly state the engine capacity, etc, so if you changed your setup, you'd have knowingly mis-represented the car and I don't know what ramifications this could or would have.

    Sorry I haven't much definitave input for you about your upcoming changes and the DVLA, but let us know how it goes... Good luck with the rebuild - sounds exciting.

    Regards,
    Ty Miller
