According to the acknowledged masters of all things truthful and accurate (snigger) Wikipedia, and I quote:-
"Excise duty on road vehicles was first introduced in the 1888 budget and a new excise duty specifically for motor vehicles was introduced in 1920 which was paid into the
road fund and was
hypothecated for road construction. Since 1937 the money has gone into
central government revenues and since then has not contributed directly to road building or maintenance."
