ULEZ and 964

[SG964]

Hi all,

This could be a very short thread - I assume that there is no chance a standard, unmodified 964 Tiptronic would be ULEZ compliant?
I was going to check with Porsche GB but I think they will only check for cars of MY 1997 and newer...

Any views/ideas etc. are welcome. I am "blessed" with living 150m inside the border of the expanded ULEZ down south, so I am preparing to pay the £12.50 every time I take the 964 out of the garage for a country ride... :-(

Many thanks,
seg

Your assumption is correct.

The good news is that a 964 could become exempt due to age in 2039.

There is no chance of escaping the ULEZ fee in any 964. If you need to check, go to their website, put in your reg number and it’ll confirm it will not be exempt. It is of course, just a money grabbing scheme and has nought to do with clean air. If it were, just prohibit any non compliant car. I’d reluctantly accept that. But not, you can pollute if you care to pay £12.50. Just money grabbing.

Other option is to remove or disable the offending cash cow camera preventing your cross-border Sunday drive south.

https://goo.gl/maps/y4q5LYggrDjonMQv5 All camera locations. Black indicates cameras that have been disabled or stolen. Power source is only 24v I believe so a pair of cable cutters in one hand and the map in the other you can carve out your own route.

As said, Khan has the nerve to say our cars are killing people (literally as quoted), but if you pay the £12.50 we'll let you carry on the killing. Fool.

I believe it is 2029 (actually Aug 2030), not 2039 - the 40-year rule

I think you now have the answer. I took mine to the Southside Hustle in Wimbledon a few months ago, presumably passing a ULEZ camera, because I received through the post a letter from the ?? himself, delivering the bad news. This, despite scoring just 13 ppm of HC at the last MoT (200 is a pass).

The signage has been deemed to be illegal, so if you get a fine you can challenge it anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQJ3XxKpOoU

I’d be fitting my number plates with Velcro and only remembering to refit them when I was 200m away from my house . . .

...a Herts business owner faced with an £11,000 ULEZ bill yesterday challenged it at a tribunal on the grounds the signs were not lawful. And won. That doesn't mean we can yet ignore ULEZ but it does mean others can also challenge and cite this ruling. It's on YouTube.
