hello all was looking at the ulez extension in london as a good excuse to get a classic .. anyone got a ford landau for sale !!?

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle

none of the old aussie cars are exempt .. i assume you have to register some more details

but as these cars have british number plates i thought they would automatically qualify as when you go on a mot checker it shows the right details

i just checked the sandman ute mot checker shows it 1977 registered but it is not exempt from ULEZ

mine is exempt under that fact that it is historic i think

but isn't exempt if you use their checker..... Mmmm...think i'd need to go through registration just to have them say Historic

i rarely drive in central london so have not had to pay congestion or anything else for a long time

There was some mention of the ULEZ and classic cars in the FBHVC magazine, can't remember which issue.
