ULEZ - older ALPINAs

[JamieHill]

Hi Rav

That's fine, your car is 0.06Nox so bellow 0.08Nox level.

You just need to submit that certificate + V5 on the tfl website.

Thanks Bob and JamieHill. I appreciate the replies.

I am sorry that I didn't quite understand this thread - its confusing if you are not directly involved. I know that many cars are Euro 6 compliant now and hence when i saw Euro 3 - i was panicked.

Sending this off with proof of ownership (or as close as you can get in the UK via V5) today, before anyone in government changes their minds!!!

[Charles]

Can everyone stop applying for their letters - Alpina have told me the delay on mine is because they have been inundated with enquiries!!!!!

My certificate finally arrived in the post on Friday.

[Charles]

The electronic version has just arrived with the paper one now in the post

Now for a bit of form-filling ...

[JamieHill]

Yay

[Sab]

Can you Adam n Eve it!
Was kinda hoping it would be below the threshold but it wasn’t meant to be.

I wrote off to TfL and sent my CoC. No response. I sent them a chaser to be sure that I had sent it over. I have had a reply back and they have told me that they have a backlog and they are quite behind. So far I am waiting for almost a month.

Hi Rav
Did you submit the documents via the link provided, if you email/write to them your not going to get anywhere. Cheers

[Rav]

Apologies. My mistake. I meant to say that I sent the documents via the link provided and when i did not hear back after a couple of weeks, I wrote into them.

Received my document from Alpina last week, it took a month to arrive after payment but will be applying for the exemption this week

[Rav]

Sorry for being a dunce....But i have received a letter back from TfL.

After spending the money on the CoC they have rejected it saying that the emissions standards to meet ULEZ limits.

How are you chaps measuring this? I have seen that under 75g of CO2 per Km is under the ULEZ limit. My car far out weighs that.
Strangely - My 2000 MY Boxster S with a 3.2 litre engine was accepted. I am going to compare both CoCs now.

[Rav]

Porsche Boxster S (3.2 Engine) as a comparison:

It is just the NOx value that needs to be compliant - less than 0.08g/km.

Perhaps they saw "Euro3" on the Alpina letter and failed to spot the actual NOx value.

I would appeal and make this point

Agreed with Charles

Directly from the official TFL ULEZ website it says:

"Petrol: Euro 4 (NOx)
Diesel: Euro 6 (NOx and PM)

The ULEZ is enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age. However:

Petrol cars that meet the ULEZ standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after 2005, although cars that meet the standards have been available since 2001".

The person who checked it may have seen the car is also pre-2001 - don't know. It is anyone's guess but the offical webpage as per the above says nothing about meeting any CO2
