I know when Funchester mayor for stupidity, had planned for the M60 circle around the city.
Basically some old petrol cars even though specced as euro2 can actually make the later euro4 or 5 specs, in this guys case a porsche of some sort, then you have to sort out some sort of original homoligation paperwork form the car maker which says it is actually cleaner than euro2 and voila away you go.
So in essence buy an old worn out sports car, then spend loads of time sorting out paperwork so you can drive said car into the zones.
According to the video, if you can prove that your vehicles NOX output does not exceed 0.08 it meets the requirement to be exempt from clean air zones charges.
The EU required manufacturers to measure and record the NOX output of their vehicles from 1996 and this information was included on Registration Certificates from 2001. So, for vehicles registered between 1996 and 2000 you can apply to the manufacturer for a Certificate of Conformity which should include the NOX output and then follow the steps outlined in the video.

Well that's me buggered, then. Good job I stay clear of the detritus of Lundunium and the days are long gone when the London roads were of enjoyable interest...
1977 MGB with a 4.0ltr TVR Griffith engine

Back in the late 80's/early 90's I had a Renault 5GT Turbo followed by a super little 911 SC Sport Targa. I used to love driving around London with friends in their jalopy-mobiles in the early hours in/around Fulham, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Kensington and sometimes into City. I can't image the faff factor of ULEZ et al in trying this today. Not to mention the London scrotes, Rozzers and the now 20mph zones everywhere. The days of being able to properly blatt along Chelsea Embankment, Warwick Gardens, hurl past The Hurlingham and onto Fulham High to meet up with the girls for an early breakfast are long gone.

According to the video this is ULEZ exempt cos it don't need an mot so ain't tested
So does that mean I could blatt through London with the V8 on full chat to irritate the bankers and Saddick Khon...?

If it's historic then yes. Still have congestion charge, though.
It's cheaper for me to take the series with the smoky TDI into Bristol than the modern clean common rail car.
Madness.
