Can you find a garage or parking place just outside ULEZ? Trouble is, the ULEZ might eventually expand to all of Greater London...

interesting thing is i never used it to drive into London. only to get out onto the motorway. but the charge for doing that 30 seconds or so is the same as someone driving hundreds of polluting miles all across London from 12.01am to 11.59pm on the same day. so if i move it, i might as well now drive all over london and make a day of it. bonkers. it's also funny that TFL were relying on more people getting charged. they'd already factored that juicy chunk of cash into all their budgets. they're now complaining that people were more compliant than expected, = less charging/fines, so they've not got as much cash to work with as they'd hoped.

Shame you have to sell your Coupe due to 'external forces' but at least you've had many, many years of owning, driving & enjoying it. Hope you manage to find a new owner who will look after it as much as yourself. after service + MOT + road tax & insurance for another year + resident's parking permit + ULEZ charges, might have been simpler and wiser to use the scrappage scheme. but a bit ludicrous to trash a classic car that's running well. so i'm glad i didn't do that in the end. the coupe's been one of my most reliable friends over the years, so there will be a tear or two when it finally departs. would be good for the soul if it found its way into the hands of someone here.

You have got sellers permissions from Theresa so you can advertise it properly on here
