We appear already to have a petition open on this which you may wish to sign instead: Reduce age required for historic/classic vehicle status from 40 to 30 years https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/756228

Background
40 years is far too long. Through purchase and 30 years of running, the country has had far more than the value of the car in tax.
