I'm not sure I'd describe it as barried.  Seems like its got bigger wheels and has been lowered, but apart from that looks very standard.

I'm OK with the environmental improvement bit, but some consistency would be nice!

If it meets Euro 4 (petrol) NOx emissions limits, it's currently compliant for the Bristol CAZ. It is probably just that the online check can't see that data.

 

Check the NOx number on the V5. If it's below 0.08, great. London thinks it is. You may just need to notify Bristol council and they should add that car to their list.

If it's above, it's a no, and London has made the mistake.

If no data, a Certificate of Conformity may be able to solve the issue for you. If Honda will supply one and if the number is what it needs to be.

That's my point really. Its value nowadays is in being unmodified and factory spec. 

Someone's going to have to find the right wheels and springs to put it back to standard and I doubt parts are easy to find

for London I believe all mk1 insights meet the requirements (certainly the manuals do) it's just the non uk cars need updating on the system (possibly with a CoC)

I think you are right about that, but the Bristol system isn't so clever

 

A mate had a 53 plate BMW 645ci that should be compliant but had to apply to Bristol council to get them to recognise it

Ideal for those Retro-Dogging moments!

Rare Honda Accord Hatchback Ex 1984 - Picture 14 of 14

I found my first "tranche" of pornos in a similar wooded area back when I was about 10.

Of course being ten, I didn't really know what to do with my suddenly erect gland and just sort of stood there wishing one day I'd have a dirty looking blonde, stockinged up, legs akimbo of my own smoking a fag over the bonnet of a Mitsubishi Starion (well of course I'd know the car, metallic blue, yellowed out fog lights, one of those plastic Louvre things over the back window).

Luckily I had some of the elements in my youth, blonde, smoker, legs akimbo, but never the Starion..... Would have been cheaper to weld it up for every MOT than keep the blonde though... And less likely to let you down 🤣🤣.

She's probably about 65/70 now the woman in those mags😱😱😱.

Of currrssseeee, broke the first rule of finding something cool as a kid, move it to a new location. 

Ran off to show my best mates, came back, all gone, called me a bullshitter for the rest of the day.

Gutted.

So well restored it appears to be running Sterling tyres who made some pretty fucking awful remoulds back in the day.

Shame it's got the wrong type of engine, but for how it appears and the MOT history it looks fantastic for the price.

Would a 2.0 petrol engine actually move that? 

Yeah, but slowly...
