Another hidden tax...or not so hidden. Hiding behind global warming.

From the C&SC article linked to;
"It was initially feared that the introduction of the ULEZ would effectively ban classics from central London – causing havoc for owners who live in the area and possibly even leading to the cancellation of some classic events such as the London to Brighton Run.
Fortunately, following a campaign by Classic & Sports Car, among others, the decision was made to grant exemption to historic vehicles.
What this means in practical terms is that if your classic is more than 40 years old and is registered for the historic vehicle tax class, you will not need to pay the ULEZ charge.
It’ll work the same way as the new MoT rules introduced last year, which takes the cut-off date as exactly 40 years on a rolling basis."

If you have a Classic its not an issue...
If you have a "Modern Classic" ...

Simple answer is never, ever, under any circumstances go inside the M25.

Birmingham and Bristol are not allowing an exemption to Historic Vehicles.
Edinburgh the situation is unclear if they are or aren't allowing an exemption.

Vote with your money,
don't spend it in these places.

Simple answer is never, ever, under any circumstances go south of Watford Gap...

FTFY .

Cars built after 1979 aren't classic, just old.

Was ruminating that point earlier today, funnily enough. This "not my problem" attitude most seem to have just makes it everyones problem.

Luckily I regularly experienced the 1am high speed dash from the bottom of the M11 across Tower Bridge, Elephant & Castle to Clapham common in a GT6 during the early '90's before anyone really cared.

That explains a lot.

Everyone has a cross to bear.

And it explains so much

So the one dustpan of rust and other of loose filler, along with the log book of my 1976 Capri can only go up in value on the back of this?

 

[pawsnizzy]

ditto

More a blow to not so classic car owners, cars over 40 years old are exempt, though why anyone would want to drive a car with a manual choke, no airbags or impact protection, no heated seats, no heated windows, a gear stick and an eight track is beyond me.

A sunny day in a classic car and all is right with the world
