Campaign for reinstatement free historic road fund license

Browsing on the website for the NEC Classic Car Show (looking for more forms to download and complete for our stand at the event this year), I came across this interesting little article:

That then led me to the full article at the Dep-O website, where 2 further articles are of great interest, as they come from 2 very respectable sources, the FT and the BBC:

Well i have signed the petition.

 

New car scrappage scheme doesnt make any sense to me, nor any of the car dealers I speak to :cuckoo:

signed the petition too.... As soon as I heard about this scrappage incentive, I realised two things;

 

1) second hand parts for 10+ year old cars are gonna get silly cheap 8)

2) Any decent cars that are likely to become classics are gonna get silly expensive 'cos of the muppets who scrap 'em to get a couple of grand of a new POS car... :brickwall:

Surely parts will get really expensive though, as less cars will actually get broken, just crushed. And as a result of less older cars demand for parts will decrease so prices will rise???

Nah, they can still take parts off with the scrappage incentive, but they have to crush the bodyshell to ensure it's never put back on the road again....
