we have to base what is a classic on todays info.
I know there will be roads, but it's likely ice cars won't be allowed to use them.

I have restored many motorbikes, and not once did I have to consider the fact that I may not be able to buy fuel for them, or may not be able to ride them.

I am already being told where I can and can't drive my diesel. What will it be like in 10 or 15 years time?

Dawn, I know there are a lot of real classics, but the cars you mentioned are probably owned by people who can afford to have them converted to electric power so that they can continue to be used and driven wherever the owner chooses. A Rover 75 will never be worth enough to consider an electric conversion.
