Planning on going to most of the -stans, Iran and Russia. My Van is a 1998.
I have heard of some places it wont be allowed to enter because of the age. Whats the recent status?

We had issues with a 1994 car in Azerbaijan. The problem wasn't the age, but the engine's emission rating. They would only allow us a 3 day transit, but at the end they just recommended us to overstay that and pay a 20 Manat fine when exiting, which worked fine for us.

We came through Lagodeki / Balakan (from Georgia). We exited via Krasniy Most, back to Georgia.

Has anyone had any experience with this recently with Iran and the Stans? We'll be driving a pretty old camper through (also RHD) so hoping we won't have any issues with this!
Thanks in advance, and thanks for the amazing website!
