Three wheeler road tax

[golo2]

After wasting ages trawling the web with no success  I hope someone here has the answers!
Rates of tax from 1957 to 1964 including quarterly
Also wording on tax disc
Think it's.  Line 1. Reg no.
Line 2     Tricycle
Line 3.    make. ( Isetta. or Messerschmitt)
Line 4    in box        cap or hp.  300cc or 200cc.     Then the amount???
Found cars and bikes but three wheelers eluding me.
Thank you in advance
Ian from Abingdon

Hi Grant, thanks for that now know quarterly rates for 1963*64 but still need details for the other years

[AndyL]

According to the log book record of my Isetta, 6 months tax was £2, 4s from 1961-63. No further tax record after that.

[golo2]

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.

[AndyL]

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.

[Garybond]

When did they introduce 4months tax my Isetta log book shows this but unfortunately its a 4 wheeler so does not help

[golo2]

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

[golo2]

 A big thank you to Jean Richard and Grant. Have All I need now
Rumcars saves the day again. The change from quarterly to 4 monthly mystery solved too
