It was LHD

Since they are older than 40 years, these are great cars to beat the London Congestion & ULEZ charges - collectively around £25 per day !

I am sure there will be more seen as the UK summer progresses

Hi Andrew,

I would double check the CC situation, as I do not think historic vehicles are exempt?

Correct, I believe they are not congestion Charge exempt but they are ULEZ ( ultra low emissions charge ) exempt.

Having said that I have driven mine (LHD) into the West end a couple of times and have not received a charge. Someone said it may be because the cameras cant pick up the old style number plates, but I dont know whether this is true ?
