Classic cars are exempt,
Classics are not exempt from the ULEZ. Unless they comply with the euro standards. I just checked on the TFL site using my reg numbers for my 2012 defender, 1956 motorcycle, 1967 motorcycle, and 1976 motorcycle. None of them comply and all are subject to the ULEZ charges. The OP is concerned with the planned expansion of the ULEZ area rather than the current LEZ and ULEZ zones. If he wants to drive a defender in the ULEZ zone he is going to pay the charge. Residents within the zone get a reduction until 2022 then have to pay in full.

Yer right Bluedog it does say that on the website. Clearly there are going to be administration problems if my "exempt" vehicles are showing non compliant and subject to the charges. It is certainly advisable to get it clarified with TFL beforehand on a one to one basis if planning to take a classic into the zone. Won't affect me though, my days of driving anything in London are done.

Sounds like a pain in the ar*e living and driving in London. If classics are exempt it would be funny if thousands of residents went out and bought dirty old historic diesels and drove them around.
