London set to ban older private petrol and diesel cars

Could be detrimental to classic cars as a whole, not just the mk1. Motoring is already expensive but just imagine the increased cost to the average London driver.

Sounds about right whilst the people who make these decisions are driven in bentleys  ..nice

Well in the last 40 years I've driven in London once and been driven in it 2 or 3 times.

Used train to the capital a few times for work in last couple of years £249 return from South Yorks, even ticket office bloke nearly fell off his chair at the price…..

Sooo.... Londonistan is its own country and can do what it wants, doesn't effect the other 95% (by area) of rest of country.

Interest rates will soon increase and the artificial property bubble will finally burst in the SE (or Labour get in and build millions of new homes) and the housing market will correct itself they won't have any traffic on the roads to worry about.

Or the UKIP effect means we stop worrying about EU rules that bring about this madness.

What happens in London will infect the rest soon, we have a mad mayor in Bristol that is determined to get all cars off the road eg blanket 20mph limits and more cycle lanes than roads, unfortuantly the motorist is the cash cow that keeps giving milk..

It will never happen. They always pull stuff like this. They have done for years! The impact of money and business loss would be too great to area!
