   Wendy,
         In that case, it almost certainly wont qualify for Road Tax exemption.
Mine is a late Mk1, sometimes called a Mk1 1/2, because it has some Mk2
features. In fact, I've confused myself because I've just checked the logbook 
and found the Comm. No. is LD12517, which seems to blow the theory that Mk1's
went from LD1 to LD11000 (I got that piece of information from The Triumph
Home Page at http://www.team.net/triumph/ , so we'll blame them if it's wrong!!)
Anyway, mine was registered in July 1972 and is among the last eligible for tax
exemption,
       Stan Barnett
