road test exempt?   
Hello,

The vendor of this van on Ebay claims it is road test exempt. 370001550152

Sounds unlikely somehow. Can it be?


Not thinking about buying - just curious how such an exemption might be 
obtained.

Cheers.

It's pre-1973.

That'd be exempt from tax, then, rather than test.
Probably.

Doh!

Mis-read it.

I which case, I can't see why it would be MOT exempt.

Mind you, the seller is an illiterate fuckwit who also appears to be
colour blind, so it's highly likely he's talking out of his arse.
