"The romantic notion of taking your classic car on a tour of Europe could quickly become a thing of the past, as more and more Continental countries introduce low emission zones that drivers of older vehicles may pay to enter, or are barred from altogether.

There are now more than 200 low emission zones across Europe, many of which only affect vans and lorries. But restrictions affecting passenger cars, especially older ones, are spreading fast, with Spain the latest country to tighten things up. And in most cases, a foreign registration plate doesn’t get you off the hook."

The classic market on the continent must be on it's arse, all these restrictions popping up there must be loads of owners caught with a car they can't legally drive in their home town.

 

I bet loads of people are trying to sell up before they become lumbered with a car they can no longer use.
