NEW rules could mean your car is now worth a small fortune as demand for older models rockets upwards.
London drivers are opting for classic cars in an effort to swerve the ULEZ charge being expanded by mayor Sadiq Khan to cover all the capital’s boroughs next week.
Dealers across the city have seen a surge in sales of motors made before 1983, which are exempt from the £12.50 charge as they are deemed to be “historic vehicles”.
The owner of Duke of London, a vintage car dealership based in Brentford, Merlin McCormack said he had seen customers plump for more affordable classic cars to avoid the charge which starts next week.
The dealer branded the surge in sales as “ironic” as while the cars are exempt from the charge, the older cars are more polluting than their modern equivalent.
