Unless it's something like a 2CV. Saw a lot of those when I used to visit my friends there. It also seems that the British are much more up-front about status things. My friend (upper management at a tech company) was happy at first that his position entitled him to a company car, as he was hoping for a nice British sports car. No, he was told that his status required him to drive a big BMW :-(

But if you don't have emissions testing, you soon would need it :-)

And really, at least with the level of emissions testing done here (Nevada), failing the test almost always means that there is something seriously wrong with the car.
