Have a look at my PCN - can I appeal this?

(I have posted about this previously but without images)
I have attached an image of a PCN received on by my OH in his company car on 05.08.09, meaning we only have until Wednesday coming to appeal or pay the reduced fee.
He is a gas engineer and was on a job, and was unable to make the job safe in time to return to the car. He did so as fast as he could and legged it. Sods law or what?!
The ticket expired at 13.04, and my OH arrived back at 13.08, with the ticket having been issued at 13.07.
It says this on the council website:
It would seem to me that as the ticket was issued bang on the 3 mins, we don't have a leg to stand on, but I wanted to run it by you guys anyway.
Thanks in advance!

You don’t issue a parking ticket unless 3 minutes penalty time
is shown on the meter. Isn’t this a ‘grace’ period?The three minutes is an allowance we give as we recognise thatminutes or more.
your watch and the parking attendant’s will vary. It is not a grace
period and you should always aim to move your vehicle before the
meter goes into penalty.
The same principle applies to all the other parts of the protocol
where a 3 minute allowance is given.
We do not cancel tickets where the meter is three minutes or more
in penalty or the Pay and Display ticket has expired by three
It would seem to me that as the ticket was issued bang on the 3 mins, we don't have a leg to stand on, but I wanted to run it by you guys anyway.
