[Nash]

Anyone else see the obvious challenge we face with is law change?

We may need to be across this for road trips

Is there a emissions standard for our cars.??
Caterham don't list this detail .
So do we need this detail from our MOT test..
Not that I go abroad just saying.

Windscreen stickers which show a vehicle’s emissions levels....

'Windscreen', ah... that's the first problem then - fallen at the first hurdle!

Only applies to cities of Paris, Lyon and Grenoble. So far...
We'll just have to avoid those for now.

The MOT emissions figure for my Seven is printed on my V5.
I have no idea what standard it equals for european legislation though. I think the UK cars have a much more lenient test than those sold abroad. The euro version of my car has 10 bhp less, the cat is really close to the engine, and it has a drive by wire throttle.

By the way, there isn't a lot of fun to be had driving in Paris anyway

V5. Of course.
Silly me.
I was of course just testing
Duncan passed.
Everyone else didn't

Luckily no one has upset the french lately so they should take it easy on any english motorist visiting the country....

Cant see any kit car running an euro spec engine never mine the emission readings on your log book. As soon as you move the engine (new or otherwise) from the vehicle it was originally made for the emission euro date is scrap. Be nice if you could just get an mot print out to show what it is producing.

We just have to say "sorry ossifer, the windscreen blew off"

My V5 says "Not Applicable" in the CO2 box, so presumably mine doesn't produce any
