Buy and Austin Seven and save £12.50 a day

[Tony Griffiths]

No, it's not joke - if you live in or near a ULEZ zone it's recommended that you buy an Austin Seven.

I mentioned this on the Austin Ten Drivers Club forum, but no one acknowledged the fact!

[Colin Cooke]

I took the Austin to Hyde Park, for the start of the London to Brighton run in November. I paid the ULEZ, but when I was paying, I noticed a comment that if you have an old car, you must register it before driving into London, in order to avoid the charge. I was too late.
I was out of the centre of London by midday on the Sunday, so avoided the congestion charge.
Does this all sound correct?

[Ivor Hawkins]

I’m pretty sure you are okay on the congestion charge Colin as it doesn’t kick in until noon at the weekend.

I used to travel into London regularly, even after I stopped working in town, I would often go shopping for shirts and stuff, regularly dining out and various gigs, but it such a hassle these days I try to avoid it.

[Colin Morgan]

There aren't enough to go round?

[Henry Harris]

What twaddle! There are numerous modern and brand new cars that are ULEZ exempt, as are all Historic class cars. As I understand it is necessary to register any exempt car with TFL before venturing into the city.

[Colin Morgan]

Rubies - I meant.

[Peter Sweeney]

Probably seal the end of historic car exemptions. Always feared a Mk 2 Jag held together with filler having an accident and the Red tops screaming headlines.
