NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Update on my new car October 2013 220d e-class, I'm sure I checked when I bought it 3 weeks ago and it wasn't ULEZ compliant, although maybe I just assumed it wasn't as all the others I looked at were'nt. But last night I went into the Zone , so went online to pay and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Sorry, not used to the new way of loading pictures and had a premature upload! Anyway, I'll take that, although I've kept the screen shot as proof if there's a mistake and I get a fine, Icing on the cake is I'd already charged the customer and we'd shared a bonding moment of slagging off TfL, Sadiq Kahn, the Goverment, Polar Bears etc. Seems it'd be rude to tell him....

dieselnutjob Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Anyone driven a historic into the ULEZ zone yet? For the 604 it says not compliant and has to pay £12.50. I think it should say not compliant and has to pay £0. How does the historic exemption work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Not quite worked that out myself. My Volvo doesn't have to pay, the Renault 6 does, even though they're both 1972 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. tax free class. curiously all the Invacars I put into the checker comeback as needing to pay ULEZ, despite most if not all being part of the historic tax class I suspect its because the DVLA/checker has very little info on them compared to most cars, mind if they where doing things properly they would do something like "if older then 40 years; then exempt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 The white Toledo shows as being eligible for the charge despite being RFL exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 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. So, if your car was first registered on 8 April 1979 or before that date, you won’t need to pay the ULEZ charge. However, if it was first registered on 8 May 1979, you’d have to pay for the first month, after which point you’d be in the clear. Hmm, something ain't right here!!!

True, but my attempts to convince my other half that an Austin Maxi would be a suitable replacement for our non-ULEZ compliant Focus fell rather flat.

lesapandre Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 The best option is probably a W123 Mercedes - for London traffic either a 300D or 200 petrol. There is a 200D and a 220D but they are underpowered. The 250 and 300 petrols are thirsty. All in auto. They don't look out of place really in London. They drive ok and don't look stupid to non-old-car people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
