Hi Grant, thanks for that now know quarterly rates for 1963*64 but still need details for the other years
-
According to the log book record of my Isetta, 6 months tax was £2, 4s from 1961-63. No further tax record after that.
-
Thank you
Seems 61 to. 64. Was £6annual. Or £2 4 shillings 4 months
1960 £5 annually
Still hunting the rest--------
-
It was £5 a year for qualifiying three-wheelers from 1st January 1953 until 17th April 1961, when it was raised to £6. Unfortunately I haven't found a source for quarterly rates yet.
-
Ah okay, I thought that was for 6 months. Mea culpa. It seems in real terms tricycle tax has come down in price over the years.
-
When did they introduce 4months tax my Isetta log book shows this but unfortunately its a 4 wheeler so does not help
-
Still struggling!
Need someone with an orinal logbook for a pre 60 car to have a look it's written At the top annual and quarterly
My logbooks are 1 from channel islands
2 continuation book
Others I have seen are too late 63 and another continuation book
Fingers crossed
Thanks to anyone who can help me

Ok golo i have several logbooks all for tricycles ( never known as three wheelers on logbooks or tax discs)
The rates changed and therefore the logbooks are amended but these are facts
Gordon tricycle 1955 £5 annual £1/7/6 quarterly
Ditto another but logbook amended by 1963 to £6 or£2/4/0
Bond 1956 £6 or £2/4/0
Bond 1959 £8 or £2//19/0
Bond 1963 £10 or £3/6/5
Many other details left out ordifferent depending on who wrote them so that would mean the tax discs would differ depending on the clerk at the desk . The only important details were make, reg , and duty I think ring me if you like 0151-632-4239

I have unearthed cancelled log books for two Isetta's with the rates of duty on.
1. Registered 2nd November 1957- Annual £12.10.0d Quarterly £3.8.9d
2. Registered 4th July 1960 - Annual £12.10.0d.Quarterly £3.8.9d then altered to £15.0.0d. and £5.10.0d and a second time to £17.10.0d and £6.8.Od. with no indication of dates. I hope this may be of some help. Jean

Surely jean that first at least must be a 4 wheeler your muddying the waters arent you ? What class ? Amended I think they are ALL four wheelers so completely different
-

They are just designated as Isettas In both cases the class is Private and they lived in the West Country best part of their lives. Number of wheels not designated I am afraid, sorry if I have caused confusion! Jean

Hi Grant why the interest ?
-
Started out as wanting to make a disc for two of my cars 1957 Schmitt and 1959 Isetta
Then when information not easily found became even more of a reason to find out. May end up as a minor article in Isetta mag if editor has space to fill!! Too much time on my hands

Providing its accurate!

Re' is that a thank you'
Yes ( more detailed one in a previous post)
Regarding accuracy I think it would take a person much braver than me to risk a posting or an article that might not be perfection personified.
