Firstly, a Mk.1 with A/C in Europe (probably not working) and also that colour ( Vert Cali?). I've only seen one other like it which was that GT found in a shed in Belgium last year. Not sure about the body kit - should really have a Postert Mk.1 kit to make it right. Probably the ride of a 'sport Grandad!' Nevertheless quite interesting, if overpriced. Stored for eleven years.

I'm quite suprised that someone who lavished all that attention on his BX couldn't stretch to some decent wheels.
For the price it's got a pretty high mileage and as it hasn't got an after market Oxi-Cat it's emission rated Euro 1 and the yearly tax for this would be €820!! The only way would be to buy it - after some serious haggling ( €1000 is still too high in my books) - and store it for five years til it could theoretically qualify for historic vehicle status under the 30 year rule. Then tax would drop to €160 or thereabouts and it could also be driven into all the German cities from where it's currently banned under the clean air regulations.

I think that the emission rules are meant to be for the whole of Europe. Basically a policeman will look to see if you've got a 'grüne Plakette' which is the sticker on the window that you display when you are emissions approved.
In practice, I can't imagine most city policeman being too bothered especially when you're 'foreign.' Though there are some pretty bored ones around here in the sticks but not so many 'green zones.'
A friend of mine was driving along in his 80s Mitsubishi L300 diesel when he came to a village which was a 'green zone' - he just drove through as he couldn't go back. The law is there but it depends who's looking as always!
