We have no smog for 86 and prior. Must not show over-much visible smoke.
And such cars can be driven in low-emissions zones, which even to me seems rather odd.

Currently we also have no annual road test for 40yo and up, although that may change. The idea that I could have driven my rotten-as-a-pear Rolls with no test is slightly alarming.

"Must not show over-much visible smoke."

Sounds quite subjective, Ivor. One inspector's "not much" smoke may be another's "over-much".
