1 in 5 back electrifying classics

Only 19% of respondents agree that classic cars should be electrified, in comparison to 43% of those who disagree that classic cars should be electrified.

"Electric classics will undoubtedly split enthusiasts down the centre, with one half giving them a modern day thumbs up, and the other ‘I’ve got a proper Mini’ camp throwing the metaphorical Jerry Can and matches in their opulent direction.”

Dave, Classic Car Curation.
