Just thought that some of you might like this info..
I have been in touch with a very helpful bloke at Renault trucks
who has given me some info on the last Commer PB to come
off the line in 1972.
So for a vehicle to be tax exempt it must have been BUILT before
midnight on 31st Dec 1972.. (you probably all know this already?)
To prove this you need a copy of the Line Book..
The date of registration not important !!
Remember that most campers sat around at convertors for many many months before being converted and registered..
The last PB off the production line in Jan 1973 had the chassis number-158645. ( the magic number.. [8D])
So if your chassis number is prior to this one it is tax exempt..
if its after, dont waste any money getting an expert to date it for you!!
Although be aware that a special batch order went through with the last chassis number in Jan 73 being 151976 ?
So check your numbers, even if it was registered in 74 you may still have a chance of tax exemption, and find yourself 180 quid better off every year..
Good Luck all
Will
