    I need to know Co2 emission level of my 1987 8 Valve Golf GTI to apply for correct residents' parking permit. There is no information on my V5C Registration Document.Can anyone help? Thanks, Scorcher

    C02 emissions probably weren't a selling (or taxation) point in 1987 so you may struggle to find an official figure.
    Also not an MOT concern (that's CO).
    It is strongly correlated with mpg though, so pick a current car with similar mpg and use its official CO2 figure.

    Hypothetically speaking....if you can't find an official figure, chances are neither can the authorities...so what's to stop you claiming a super low emissions rating?

    It's a fair point. Plump for something preferable (but not ridiculous it needs to be defendable!) and put the onus on them to prove you wrong?
