This has to be THE worst condition car we have ever restored, we had to get cut outs off other vehicles to make one good panel to make the car decent!! What a lot of work it has been, I hope the owner appreciates the amount of work and hours it's taken to get to this stage!

If anyone ever tells you classic cars should be taken off the road, here are some figures to reply with.

F.B.H.V.C. Survey results
Key Headlines
Record Growth in Historic Vehicles:
The number of historic vehicles registered with the DVLA has risen again to 1,934,178, just shy of the 2 million once forecast for 2025.
Economic powerhouse:
The historic vehicle sector now contributes £7.3 billion annually to the UK economy, with owners spending on average £4,567 per year maintaining and enjoying their vehicles.
Jobs and businesses:
The movement supports 2,700 specialist businesses, collectively employing 34,500 people across restoration, maintenance, parts supply, museums and events. Nearly half (45%) of those businesses now offer, or plan to offer, apprenticeship programmes to pass on vital heritage skills.
Growing enthusiasm nationwide:
The UK is home to an estimated 690,777 historic vehicle owners, and more than 22.7 million adults regard historic vehicles as a vital part of Britain’s heritage.
Over 9.7 million people say they would like to own one, and 4.3 million attended a historic vehicle event in the last year – a 100% increase since 2020.
Minimal road impact:
Despite their visibility, historic vehicles account for only 0.2% of all miles driven in the UK, with the average vehicle covering just 837 miles annually.
Demographics and Future Generations:
The average age of an owner has risen to 66, highlighting the importance of engaging younger enthusiasts. Encouragingly, the under-35s now show the most significant interest in historic vehicles, while the introduction of the ‘Youngtimer’ category (vehicles aged 20–30 years) offers an accessible entry point for new enthusiasts.
Skills and apprenticeships:
With over 11.9 million adults agreeing that apprenticeships focused on historic vehicle skills should be available to young people, the FBHVC calls for continued support to sustain these specialist trades for future generations. Businesses echo the call, with 45% already offering or planning training schemes to ensure vital historic skills are passed on.
