Don't forget to check if you need to pay the Clean Air Zone charge.

Wapping Wharf is just inside zone.

Checked, both of my Westfields are exempt even though the XI is 'visual smoke' for MOT emissions - checker seems to be based on date of 1st registration, my last C Class was Euro 6 but because it was registered before Euro 6 was mandated it didn't count and I had to pay CAZ when we visited - since replaced with a PHEV.

Double check, regs change etc. But last time I looked up all the various emissions based charging zones, all Westfields were effectively exempt due to the way they're tested and classified.

 

That's not to say that won't change in the future, as IVA tests have been harvesting as-built emissions data for a few years now, but I don't think, currently, any of that data is used in away that affects us beyond compliance for the test itself.

 

(Note that's for the UK only. I know the first time I did Le Mans five or so years ago, just in case we went near one, we did get the pre-paid French emissions restricted cartes, and we would have needed them had we entered a restricted zone)

Not 'exempt' but qualify for Zero charge against the current rules.

 

'exempt' is for special vehicles/Blue Badge holders that would otherwise have to pay the charge.

Hence my word “effectively”

Yep I agree! We often forget just what fantastic little cars we have and how lucky we are to be able to own and drive one! I go into my garage every single day just to smell the eau de Westie. And it's such an intoxicating smell! Yummy!

Yes its really so powerfull anti-depressant cars! So much smile not only for owner but also all people looking at it.  Not only driving but just looking at it! Especialy on those todays days when all "normal"  cars are well... ok ..but...

 

That is why its my favorite topic "recent snap .."  so much beauty in this cars !

I feel I can finally add a picture justifiable for this thread.....

 

Tax ran out in 2007 and it was used as an expensive storage system gather dust after being built by myself only 5 years previously to that.

 

Used as our wedding car in 2004

 

and then the purchase of a house in need of love and attention in 2005 meant it was put to one side whilst we renovated the house, and then daughter no 1 followed by no 2 came along and finally I got my mojo back and here we are....she is reincarnated!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

I'm biased but I absolutely love the blue and the photos do no justice for the actual colour 😎. 

 

Oh by the way, I still fit in the same Westfield Race seat (just about😅).

 

MOT booked for a week tomorrow 🤞
