I have a Mk IV 1300 Registered on 16/4/73 happy 30th nearly !!
Is there a quick an easy way of determing if my car was built before the cut off for tax exemption ??
Hi Huw.The best way to see if your car was built before 1st jan 73 is to get in touch with the heritage centre at Gaydon.They have all the production
record and can issue a certificate that will be accepted as proof.You can do it on line.
My old MKIV was Built August and registered August '73 the Comm was FH58306 and chassis 58195FH if your numbers are anywhere near this range it is
unlikely it was built in '72. You should check the International Spitfire Database;

and see where your comm number fits, to get a good idea of the production cut off dates between years.
P.S. my current MKIV is exempt....doesn't work though!
