You are entitled, under the RTA I believe (or perhaps under the
aprking regulations for the particular city) to make a claim for costs
only if the issue of the ticket or the councils refusal to allow your
appeal (I cannot remember which) is "frivilous, vexatious or wholly
unreasonable." Whether their behaviour is regarded in this category
is the decision of the parking adjudicator, who you will appear before
if the council refuse your appeal.

ISTM that putting a ticket on a car with an issue time outside that
for which restrictions apply is wholly unreasonable by a very very
very long way

Unless the charges apply during a certain time and outside of that time no
parking is permitted at all. Unlikely, but possible.
