    You should be, the reg no will be 30yrs old this year, however 135s were only manufactured up to 1975 so it has to be 40 yrs old plus .....is the year of manufacture not wrote on the tax book ?

    On the Tax book it says "DECLARED NEW YEAR OF MANUFACTURE" and 1987 is written in. And also in another place on the Tax Book its " DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION UNDER ROADS ACT 1920" and 06/08/87 is written in. Its due for tax now 102e. I will call to the Motor Tax Office, they should know!!

    Mine is 88 so another year. Where is the best place to get insurance?

    There should be a plate on the tractor somewhere telling the year of manufacture....it'd be interesting to know.
    These days you can't take a vehicle out of the garage without registering it, forty years ago people just didn't seem to bother......had one insured here for years on the chassis no. until I got caught:D
