Facsimile of UK Tax Disc for 1940 - But this version is overstamped 'WAR VERSION' - for a vehicle in WWII being used for some official purpose: This item consists of 3 tax tax discs for tax year 1940 on War Service, 2 of those 3 can be personalised to your own motorcycle details. See listing for more detail
Please Note: By 1940 the UK had entered the Second World War. This tax disc is the same as the normal 'civilian' tax disc style for that year (which we also offer Item 1201), but in this case it is overstamped with the official 'WAR SERVICE' markings - meaning it was being used on a vehicle where the owner was using it for some form of official use. This may have been a bike or car that had been requisitioned for war use, a Dispatch Riders bike - or even being used by a Doctor. Original tax discs with this overstamping are now extremely rare to find - but as far as we can tell - when used in this way - only the Make/Type/Registration details are entered - which is what we will include unless you request anything else on the disc
This tax disc is a faithful reproduction of the original UK tax disc for that year - in colour, format, supporting information and even the council stamp that was used - which can be personalied to any UK county you give.
Each year is a faithful and accurate representation of the actual disc for that year (unlike many of the tax discs you see advertised elsewhere) - and has taken much work and effort to make it so. the underlying paper also includes the correct tiny watermark writing (which many other facsimile discs do not) - again, correct in format for that particular year (and notice for this particular year the watermark was only present in the centre of the disk, not in the surrounding rectangular area, unlike some earlier years).
As supplied, all 3 discs will be supplied as they would have originally been supplied by the local post office - i.e. as a rectangular shape, with the correct supporting information on the outside of the perforation - you just need to cut around the circumference of the printed disc and fit it in your tax disc holder (which we also offer from this item category).
As a final detail - each tax disc has the correct additional tax information on the back of the tax disc for that year - which varied by year.
As always with facsimile items we offer - the tax discs are printed on high quality paper of a type similar to the original, and from a professional quality printer.
They will be supplied as shown in the photo - 3 tax discs (two pre-printed with your own motorcycle's details, the third left blank) in their own paper wallet. If ordered on their own they will be supplied in a 'Please Do Not Bend' envelope, else if they are ordered as part of a larger order they will be placed between suitable cardboard to avoid damage or creasing.
Note: When placing order please include following motorcycle information, so we can enter it onto your tax discs:
- Make of Motorcycle: i.e. Norton, Royal Enfield etc.
- Registration of Motorcycle: i.e TFV602 shown in example photograph here
- Motorcycle cc: i.e. 700cc (not included on this disc . . . see information above)
