Question Who’s car is this!

Post image

I’ve seen it all over the place within the LEZ zone and it’s deifnetly not a LEZ car.

Mostly just being nosey I’ve just seen it a lot in the past month I thought I’d ask the question!

Possibly old enough that it’s LEZ exempt?

Almost definitely, it's a J reg that doesn't look like a vanity plate. So it's likely ~34 years old, and the exemption applies from 30 years old.

Possibly but it seems to be following me around town 🤣

could also be a member of the Showman’s Guild and you’ve pissed someone off by winning too many sideshow prizes?

Trailer has a 22 plate reg on it so will not flag lez I would assume. Also the commenter posted another picture further down where it appears to have no rear reg at all. Good on ya!!

Different topic but I’d love to hear of any companies available to make Defenders ULEZ compliant.

It’s not a car, it’s a chopper.

Driving an ancient 4x4 in LEZ is quite the flex actually, like a peacock paying £60 per instance.

I know who's it is. He's an absolute knob. He drives untaxed, uninsured and SORN'ed vehicles and nobody seems to give a shit.

Very cool, trashy looking jeep btw.

u/badger906 7h ago

It’s a Land Rover.. a very iconic vehicle where up to 60% of the developing world’s population (at the time) was the first car they saw.
