With the legal move to electric only new car sales being just 9 years away, where does that leave us?
Whilst I completely agree with the need to move away from fossil fuels, I somewhat see the change as a shutting down of the petrolhead movement.
Had things continued as they were, the model based car communities would rise and fall as new makes and models were released the way they always have. But we are now at a very important point in history. This is the end of the internal combustion engine for the masses. Every model now on the road is therefore on a trajectory to extinction and we are all now driving a piece of motoring history.
The mass Euro-boxes are no real loss to anyone, but the special cars, the cars that were revolutionary when released or those that had something special about them therefore need to be preserved. I think the A2 definitely falls into this category and along with it comes our responsibility to preserve the good ones as much as possible because they are a part of motoring history.
I’d like to know others thoughts on this, what does the next 8-12 years hold?
