In 2026, this will surely be a truly fantastic shabby daily motor for a Londoner.

What's the script with all that ULEZ caper, then? If you have a car parked on your drive or out on the street and taxed/tested/insured but don't actually drive it, do you still have to pay the daily charges if you're inside the zone?

They are typically either basket cases, pineappled (cos rally car), or over-restored. Original condition runners and drivers and kind of rare.

I'd have one but I would have to put a 1300 in it. Not necessarily the full Spitfire spec TC as I have in my Triumph but the standard 1300/Herald. Technically less power but the power comes in lower down. Practically indistinguishable from the original 803cc from the outside but double the power. I believe a herald disc brake conversion is fairly simple too. The rest I would leave completely original and hopefully slightly careworn. It would then be a perfectly usable daily driver. Perfect for trips to London. egg, garethj, LightBulbFun and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can move a few streets if there are no cameras about. Parked up is fine on street. But move it any distance you will get caught on a camera and fined if you have not paid within the prescribed time. Cameras are everywhere - you can't get far. City Hall spent £150M setting this up, just to catch a few old vans and older diesel cars that would disappear off the road anyway... most petrol cars after year 2001 are not covered. Part of the financial modelling was to recoup this 150M cost...from charges and fines! Getting caught just gives them money. I think revenues are much lower than they though anyway so the whole thing is enforced hard. The expansion is though to cost £200M. The whole shebang is run for profit by Capita for City Hall so somebody also makes a profit out of you. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita The usual money-rinsing operation so common in the UK. 'Your motoring is their concern' kerching. They will be bound to increase the price - I would expect they will extend the years of cars charged too. Bastards Eddy!
