1968 LOCOST SEVEN Tax Exempt, Correctly Registered kitcar westfield seats

Some people appear not to know what they are looking at.

Surely it cant be tax exempt if it's correctly registered?

The registration is correct, if it is actually the same car...

Yes it is built to the locust plans, but he didn't build it and it is registered as locost?

At £1550 it looks all the money in the world for that with 7 days to go.....

I would say it was labelled as a "locost" during the DVLA registration amesty. I had the same problem with a previous car I owned, filled in a form and got sent a new logbook with the correct details on.

With older (pre-SVA) builds, the tax-exempt thing on some registrations was a bit haphazard...

Yep, my thoughts as well. The tax exempt then comes from the original registration age, regardless of how old the car actually is.
