There will come a tipping point where it will become so difficult and expensive to use a classic car that all but the 'major classics' will cease to be used, and may well end up scrapped. All of the support we are used to, from petrol stations to sparking plug manufacturers to clutch plate suppliers will disappear. Probably not in the lifetime of many of us on this forum, but with the UK prohibiting the sale of ICE cars by 2030 (7.5 years and counting), it would be a brave man who opened up a new petrol station, or clutch or gearbox repair firm now.
There is a quote from Rudi Dornbusch: “things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could"
I think the adoption of electric vehicles is already well along this path.
