Historic and classic vehicle enthusiasts rally to the call for information

Published: 03/06/2025

The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) is delighted with enthusiasts’ responses to the National Historic Vehicle Survey. 

Chairman, David Whale, had previously said this survey was “incredibly important as this research is the first to capture the mood of the whole market post-pandemic.”

New Federation research partner Turquoise and the Classic Motor Show organiser have provided immense support. Enthusiasts have responded to the extent that 17,546 people expressed their opinions and provided details of their historic vehicles, spending, activities and ‘future classics’; more than ever before.

Also, 501 vehicle clubs (from a total FBHVC membership of 528 clubs), responded to the survey too!

The Survey phase is now complete and has closed and the work for Turquoise really begins, in analysing your opinions and statistics. The full report will be published in the autumn when Parliament returns after the Summer Recess.

Watch this space, for when the Federation is ready to share your views with HM Government!
