mpbarrett Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I missed the email until saw this thread then found it! Hotels booked, all with free cancelation in case I change my mind! Just need to sort ferry, tunnel etc... And too look into the ULEZ zones. BTW we just upgraded our camper van to a low emission one (2011->2021 van) to get round this problem in the EU and the UK as its becoming more and more restrictive.

The Android Green Zone App a free app that I have used for a few years which helps to avoid any unnecessary fines. H Strongly recommend you install this on your phone as it will show LEZ zones and if they are in force for your car, since some depend on the prevailing environmental conditions.

Howard Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don't know about the French rules, but in some EU countries only totally unmodified cars meet their criteria for classic cars. How many totally unmodified Triumphs are out there with only original manufacturers parts fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for modifications, not many people in the UK can tell the difference between 'swing spring' and 'Rotoflex' let alone police officers abroad. Further to Howard's info on St Etienne:- Dates & Standards By 2025, the 43 agglomerations of more than 150,000 inhabitants must have established a ZFE-m. Greater Saint-Etienne has implemented a ZFE-m (Zones à Faibles Emissions mobilité - low emission zone) 31 January 2022. The zone affects light commercial vehicles and lorries. We show the standard that is required to be allowed to circulate. From 1 January 2022 Crit'Air sticker 5 is required: o diesel light commercial vehicles Euro 2 o diesel lorries Euro 3 From January 2025 Crit'Air sticker 3 is required: o diesel light commercial vehicles Euro 4 o diesel lorries Euro 5 From January 2027 Crit'Air sticker 2 is required: o diesel light commercial vehicles Euro 5 o diesel lorries Euro 6 Check here what the air quality is today in Greater Saint-Etienne Find out where stickers can be bought below in the 'Need to register' section.

Redstag Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 You’re right on the costs of ferry travel - I looked at Hull Zeebrugge for the Spa Classic in May. It was around £350 in January, now it’s £437.. !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
