Could Classic Cars Be Going Extinct? By Kieran M and Oscar H

There are many classic car and motoring enthusiasts in the UK and with the new regulations to be put into place to ban petrol by 2035 could it mean the end of the road for many of these enthusiasts, or will they find a way to keep their old bangers running? 

Classic car owners should be aware that the initial ‘petrol and diesel ban’ would only initially impact new car sales. However, a potential ban on petrol and diesel cars could make not only sourcing petrol very difficult for drivers but also sourcing spare parts for their petrol-powered dinosaurs. Many manufacturers have already thought of this and are making exact replica parts to go with the classics.
