1. Question About Smog Control in England (score: 1)

A co-worker is telling me that in England they made it so you can only drive your classic pre-smog control sports car on weekends and holidays. I don't think so. Can someone familiar with English smo

That would seem to be pretty extreme for a country that is only now in the final stages (or just completed) phasing out the availability of leaded petrol. Don't quote me on the timetable, but it hasn

-- Original Message -- From Bill Brewer <bbrewer at qnet.com> Hi Bill, There are no restrictions here in the UK on use of our cars. Vehicles constructed before the end of 1972 are exempt from paying

This information is what we call here "a load of b*ll*cks". Our Government would like to tax all forms of enjoyment - and to a large degree it has succeeded in doing so - but their onslaught on old

English law says that all cars driven on public roads must pass the MOT emissions test. Period. Either you can drive your pre-smog-control sports car all day every day, or you can't drive it at all.

We are certainly phasing out the availability of LRP; I hadn't heard that four-star was going too. I filled up with full-fat leaded four star from a pump on a petrol station forecourt half an hour ag

Despite rumours in the press to the contrary, 4 Star 'leaded' petrol is not being phased out in the UK. In fact the number of small garages offering it is still growing - see http://www.leadedpetrol.

Also check out the private classified adverts while you're there - a dozen or more Standards and Triumphs, including a Spit converted for use by a disabled driver and a TR7 "free to the first person

Ian beat me to it with my own correction: it's LRP that's being phased out, not Four Star. And it's 1972, not 1974 to be tax exempt. I'll get back to you about the "visible smoke" test changeover dat

Your co-worker is totally incorrect. Pre 1976 cars in UK (England is only a part of the UK) have no smog control what so ever except that the car has a visual test for excessive smoke at tick over (
