More details from petition creator

Vehicles classed as "Historic vehicles" must have rolled off the production line prior to 30 Dec 1972 to be exempt from road tax. The use of "Historic vehicles" (Classic Cars) is mostly to complete a few miles cruising on a Sunday or to display at fetes and rallies. Lets preserve our now none existent motoring heritage by giving some incentive to the enthusiast to keep these cars and bikes going for the enjoyment of all.
