in 20 years time there could be more electric cars than petrol, in fact P6 DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!Probably when the tree huggers ban the use of petrol cars due to emissions I remember reading that they was going ban classic cars from Paris due to the emissions I don’t know if they did it or not.
You can only sit in a electric self driven death trap, letting drives make decisions behind the wheel of a car how terrible and reckless it is to actually let people drive cars and a clear breach of health and safety regulations we must let the computers take over,
I agree it is a shame when to a lot of people it’s just a hobby,
I was thinking, ok , just put an electric motor into the engine bay of a P6, hey presto you got a P6 electric
but, that wouldn't work. Electric cars are basically one huge battery (as the floor) with 4 wheels at each corner of the battery. the battery in electric cars is so huge it basically IS the entire floor of the car, so you can put an SD1 engine into a P6, I guess theoretically it could even run on a diesel engine but it is never going to be an electric car
so , we have got to enjoy them while we can, luckily the UK government is sentimental, they say all cars made before 1979 can be tax exempt and can be MOT exempt, that is one heck of a privilege and did not apply when I ran my previous two P6s
yikes, that could have been LondonParis has banned old cars from the city, and some motorists are furious. Here's a guide to the new laws and what they mean for motorists.
Essentially, it's a ban on all vehicles that were registered before January 1st 1997 and all motorcycles registered before 1999.
There is a full list of the banned cars here.
The vehicles will be banned from being driven anywhere inside the Périphérique ring road, which acts as the city's limits, from 8am to 8pm each weekday.
Why are they banned?
Paris has been cracking down on pollution with a heavy hand lately, and old vehicles play a large part of the problem. In fact, cars older than ten years are estimated to cause half of the city's air pollution.
