They'll probably bring in the safety aspects of it too, since new cars all have airbags as standard.
I heard somewhere if everyone upgrades to the safest car in its class, we'd have 90% less fatalities on the roads, which is good, but then everybody will be kickin around in binis and berlinas.

From what I've heard talking to Insurance people, the incidence of crashes amongst true enthusiasts as opposed to the road racers etc is very very low compared to the average. The thinking is that if you spend 5 years of your life restoring something you tend to treat it more carefully etc.
The arguments to get older cars off the road have holes big enough to drive a truck through (prolly an old Commer Knocker!
).
Environment? We ain't the ones using up precious fossil fuels, limited manufactuiring capability and materials to produce new models every year or two!! Only BMW has the goal to make a competely recycleable car AFAIR.
Now that the dreaded Lead is gone (it was only there in very small quantities if the truth be known) we are on the same fuel as new cars and mostly using less of it!!
Go Figure!!
it is true though.
