The affect on 'Classic Cars' is minor compared to the effect on peoples lives.
How many people use cars older than this for day to day transport?
Let alone buses, HGV, ambulances etc.

Complete bollox and impossible.

Just so we understand:

Banning use of cars over 10 years old!

Several EU proposals across the years are dangerous to the classic car movement. One that has been under consideration is to ban the use of cars older than 10 years. Similarly, Edinburgh City Council is considering the banning of cars over 15 years old from the town centre. These, and similar, proposals directly threaten the classic car movement, and encourage the manufacture of new cars, with the attendent environmental issues of sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, distriuting and scrapping the spiralling supply of new vehicles.

I have signed the petition online as a "taxable person" once again. Steph sent me this this morning, she must have got this image from the government site....

Bump! Just signed. Somewhat of a vested interest with two cars over 10 years old, and a motorbike from the seventies.
