The owner has had it since 1982, so 44 years. Not bad, but not a record.
According to the article, they drove it to the factory on Monday. A bit of a risk, as the DVLA website says it's untaxed!

Mine is historic so no tax, but the DVLA still shows it as 'taxed' on Vehicle Check. I imagine they've assumed it's automatic and not gone through the Tax class change process.

I had a problem with Mrs Image's Triumph .... getting into the resto nicely so thought I'd get it taxed up front as it's free ... then got a letter from the DVLA threatening a £1000 fine for having a taxed but not insured motorcycle in several lumps in my workshop .... had to sorn it instead ...that took three tries before it 'took' on their database.
Apparently having a taxed but not insured vehicle is now an offence even if it never goes near the road ... no doubt been like it for years, just I'd never been in that situation before
