The expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) marks an enhancement of motoring restrictions across cities in the UK. With an aim to significantly cut emissions and improve air quality, ULEZ operates 24/7 now spanning over all London boroughs.
The daily charge remains at £12.50 for vehicles that do not meet the stringent Euro 6 (diesel) and Euro 4 (petrol) emission standards, which spells doom for a huge proportion of modern vehicles. However, there’s good news for enthusiasts: classic cars, typically over 40 years old and registered as historic vehicles, remain exempt from these restrictions. At RNG Classics, we celebrate this exemption, inviting you to rediscover the unlimited potential that these classic cars bring, challenging the complexities of modern life with simplicity in motion.
While ULEZ is designed to curb pollution by encouraging the use of newer, cleaner vehicles, it also recognises the cultural and historical significance of classic cars. These vintage vehicles are not only exempt from the daily charge but also from the annual congestion charge of £15, which applies to most other vehicles driving in Central London. This exemption allows not only owners but any admirer to continue enjoying these beloved machines without the financial burden imposed on modern vehicles.
RNG Classics offers a diverse range of classic cars that all seek to provide you with the same goal; unrestricted passion and freedom. With these harsh ULEZ restrictions in effect, there’s no better time to fall in love with classic car driving again, and reunite these vehicles with London’s city streets.
