Emissions Validation

[Dashnine]

I know a 'cheaper' RFL car and a more 'expensive' RFL car (sadly mine although if it were registered when it was made instead of 2 and a half years later it'd be in the 'cheaper' category!), and both are ULEZ compliant on the TFL website.

I don't know how the emissions are added for the V5 but it does seem they're the wrong way round. DVLA seemed to have issues with the descriptions of various cars, and as you can see from 'HowManyLeft' the model descriptions vary for the 260: ZT V8 260 (as per mine on the V5) and ZT 260 V8.

I can't believe emission figures are individually entered for each car, I assume when a car is registered they pick the car from a list and if one set are figures are wrong we end up where the OP is, although I'd have expected to have seen it before with the number of cars still out there (assuming possibly that 'ZT 260 V8' have the wrong emissions, there are 12 non-SE ZT cars on the road according to HowManyLeft's dubious figures).

However I maybe talking nonsense (again) as the figures on HowManyLeft may show that models listed as ZT 260 V8 are Mk1 / Pre-facelift (start 2003 and tail off 2004) and ZT V8 260 are Mk2 / Facelift (start 2004).

So anyone got a Mk1 260 that shows as ULEZ compliant, and what's yours Mgnoob?

ETA: Jeffs 260 is a Mk1 and compliant, so another theory shot down!
