Presumably many of us will have read about London Mayor, Khan's sudden and unexpected announcement of the expansion to the ULEZ zone in August 2023. Many London residents and those outside of London who journey in to the zone are incensed and will be badly affected from the financial implication of this announcement.
No doubt most CCCUK members will thinking "I never travel in to London so it doesn't effect me" - and true enough, many of us will not be effected.
If you have a 'historic' vehicle, so 40 years old, so a very late C3 perhaps - (and before too long a very early C4) you'll be fine.
Using a Euro 4 compliant petrol (post 2003) or Euro 6 diesel (post 2015) daily driver you'll be OK
In all cases if planning to enter the ULEZ zone best to check on TLF's website and see if you need to register your vehicle.
Fact - expanded ULEZ zone will include all London boroughs, so effectively all areas within the M25 motorway.
Fact - If you use the M25 as part of a journey to and from other parts of the UK (so south east or western UK (so M2, M3, M4, M11 and M40 + junctions with M25) you will be fine.
Fact - travel from M25 and on to M2, M3, M4, M11 and M40 heading in to London and you may be liable (if your vehicle is non-compliant) for a £12.50 charge.....don't pay it within a prescribed time and it'll be doubled, ignore it and you'll get fined (recently increased)
Fact - If there is an accident, road closure or diversion taking you off the M25 and on to the London side of the motorway (perhaps via minor suburban routes) you will potentially be liable for the £12.50 charge!
A Question for London based owners of imported Corvettes manufactured after 1983 and before 2003/4/5 - your cars will have benefitted from the reduced RFL due to an unlisted emission output figure..........will vehicle (especially is post 2005/6) avoid the ULEZ charges?
