emissions requirements in Eire

[spitfire4v8]

Hi all, I'm really struggling finding out what emissions limits a 1997 cerbera would have to meet in southern ireland. Does anyone know for sure?

Over here we have a relaxed lambda limit, but not sure if that applies anywhere else. I have a cerbera in which is owned by a customer in eire, but he hasn't driven it because 1) it barely ran anyway and 2) neither of us know the emissions limits - it needs to be able to legitimately pass otherwise it's an expensive ornament over there. The owner has asked of the authorities but they don't seem to know, or want to disclose, any info!

Google isn't really turning anything up either.

Are there any NCT (their MOT) inspectors around to clarify this? Or any GTVR owners who have successfully achieved a pass and have a test cert with the emissions values on?

any help appreciated.

I find the NCTS are quite flexible with specialist machines. There are a number of Cerbs in the South without issue.

Never had an issue with the Tuscan. Best to chat with the tester before it goes through. Also, best to do a bit of Googling as some test centres have a better reputation than others been willing to assist customers.

That's interesting .. the owner seemed to think the tests were absolutely rigid with no bending of the rules, hence the reason this particular car hasn't been on the road for about 4 years ? Do we know who owns the other cerbs in southern ireland ? I was under the mistaken impression this was the only one.
