No, nothing.
To be Classic Car Vehicle Excise Duty Exempt it has to been built before January 1st 1974, and this date will not roll over.
UK Government stated that this date will never change.

[Mike SX]

Yes, and I traded a 1972 SL, for a 1978, then this one.
Should have kept the first one

That was the original plan here, but money grabbing Government Squanderers needed the tax grab (VED). Vehicles registered up to Jan. 1974 still needed to display a current tax disc, albeit showing nil payment, but yesterday The Chancellor announced the future scrapping of displaying a tax disc (still chargeable) - saving the Treasury £millions.
