I think all suppliers will oppose it. Imagine how many suppiliers of third-party and aftermarket parts there are, but of course, it'd be good news for the manufacturers and dealers.

Think about those people running classic cars from brands that no-longer survive or no longer produce the parts.
Eg if you had a Triumph, and something went wrong, you couldn't just go and buy a third-party replacement part and fit it yourself, you'd have to find an original part via a dealer and get them to fit it. Hang on, there aren't any Triumph car dealers around are there?

And with that 10 year rule, even if you were running a fairly recent car, you'd have to replace it with a new one whether you old one was broken or not. That would wipe out the Mk1s and Mk2s straight away.

that wont happen... we pay a fortune keeping our cars on the road... with is by doing all servicing ourselves!

if it does get passed they will now about it.... unless people put up with it like our 80% tax on petrol!!

we dont have many rights or civil liberties!

is it united kingdom or ukriane!  it seems like the latter to me!!

Looking at it there would be many problems trying to uphold it.....

1.) the taxation would be stupid, how many farmers have old vehicles around in there yards, they would pay through the nose trying to tax for them all!!  It would cause more pain to many people with this as they would scrap cars rather than have i stored int here garage being restorer.  How many classics would be scrapped??

2.) lots of modification companies would go bust, not good for local economies :undecided: and cars would have to be returned to rights

3.)do we trust our local stealership????
