I too wish I could get spell check to automatically correct it. Oh and when I have more time I'm going to try to get my Boxster 'cleared' for use in Bristol inner 'clean zone' and avoid £9 a day following your instructions - thanks!🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daboy3000 Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 I recently emailed Porsche about getting a certificate, this was in the reply Thank you for your interest in a Certificate of Conformity. Please find the form attached. Full details of the documents are detailed on the form. Please note Certificates of Conformity are only available for EU specification vehicles built after 1997. My car was built in 1996, any idea what this means for me? Is there an age limit where it doesn't matter so my car is exempt by default?

My car was built in 1996, any idea what this means for me? Is there an age limit where it doesn't matter so my car is exempt by default? I believe this is 1997 model year, which is the first model year of the 986 even if built (from August 1996) and registered in 1996. If in doubt call them on 03457 911911 to clarify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistywizard23 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Reviving this thread. I have a 52 Plate Boxster S and live in London. December 2021, sent of my CoFC and V5c. Day later. ULEZ compliant. Today I have got an email from TFL saying as of 24/02/2023 we are removing this and you will need to pay ULEZ. I have sent the document back along with the AA link pointing out the Euro 4 standards, highlighted where on the Porsche CofC it exceeds these. Has anyone else had this recently. I do not get how they can suddenly back track like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I got mine listed with both TfL and CAZ as compliant. Nothing received yet to say they are removing it. The only thing could be of they are tightening up on all aspects of Euro 4 petrol as the 2000 and earlier cars only meet the NOx level. I thought the 2001 onwards were fully compliant even if the Euro 4 standard didn't exist then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistywizard23 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Yeah, mine meets all the standards of Euro 4. TFL states they still only look at nox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistywizard23 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) So this is the letter. God knows why. Unless due to the soon to come into force expansion, they are revoking and revisiting and expecting people to go through the process. I have submitted it all again. So will keep everyone updated in case anyone has this problem. Edited February 14, 2023 by twistywizard23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L14m Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Oh heck, I literally just bought my 2003 Boxster s at the weekend after looking and making sure although isn’t euro 4, was compliant. I’m based in the London Borough of Bexley so this may get interesting/annoying as that crook “khan” is expanding the ULEZ to my area in August. I’ll be following this thread as understood I may have been taking a gamble on this… might have to move house 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell a house worth a mint, buy a bit further out and invest the difference in Boxster maintenance! Either that or I'm sure some advanced Man Maths could make a newer Boxster work and stay put.

If not, will have no choice but to sell it and get something newer. As myself and my partner use is it daily alongside a Polestar 2. Which would be a shame as I love the thing.

If Big Smoke is London then ..... Nothing so simple. The rules could be different - not sure. Right now we believe the same rules. My car was not ULEZ according to CAZ when I bought it. I found out because I got fined for driving through one in Birmingham thinking it was ULEZ. It was ULEZ on all websites I checked prior to buying it because they use TFL for this data. The 2 systems are different so you can be ULEZ on one and not the other. I didn't know this but I do now. TFL = one system CAZ = a totally different system Wont go on about this here because hopefully we all know that now. You can look back for the details as I think they are in this thread.

Not sure how you define facelift but mine is also an 01 S, it is manual with ambers and plastic window. They may have used my info at DVLA [who run the CAZ system] to exempt all similar Boxsters as the CofC would be identical. This of course assumes a level of competence which may be optimistic.
