Tbf, based on emissions, it should be about a grand.
Unless things have changed since I owned an MG Midget (you can call them that), the MOT emissions test is literally 10x as lenient for 1970s/early 80s classic. And in a lot of cases, the tester will just make sure there isn’t too much black smoke on flooring the throttle.
I'd just like a quick rant about parking.
I inherited my father in laws MGB. I don't really drive it - I have not put petrol in it for the last 12 months. At some point, when time and finds allow, I would like to restore it, maybe take it on a European tour.
In the meantime, I park it in a residents bay. Last year, my parking permit from Greenwich Council was £100.00. This year - based on emissions (!) - it's gone up to £300.00.
I'd just like to say, whoever came up with that idea is a cunt. Thank you.
