The Truth About Classic Car Emissions – You’ll Be Shocked!

Описание: Are classic cars really bad for the planet? 🚗🌍 Or have we been misled about their true environmental impact? In this video, I reveal the surprising facts about classic car emissions and why keeping your cherished classic alive might actually be greener than buying a brand-new EV.

Here’s what we cover:
✅ The real numbers behind classic car emissions in the UK
✅ Why manufacturing new cars creates the biggest CO2 footprint
✅ How sparing use of classics makes them more sustainable
✅ Why scrapping an old car for a new EV isn’t always the “green” choice
✅ What FIVA (Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens) says about historic vehicles
✅ And why you should feel good — not guilty — about driving your classic!

Classic cars only account for 0.3% of total UK transport emissions — and they’ve already been built, with many parts recycled and reused. Compare that to the massive resource extraction and CO2 involved in producing new electric SUVs, and suddenly, your 1980s, 90s and early 2000s motor looks a lot more eco-friendly!

If you love cars, heritage, and sustainability, this is the video for you.
