Diesels will of been naturally phased out by then anyway, it’s ridiculous what manufacturers are having to do to get them to run clean. Petrols are achieving diesel mpg figures and are easier to get to run cleanly. I do believe that battery and hybrids are the future, a clean petrol engine that charges the battery for an electric motor, a hydrogen fuel cell or full battery. Hyundai have launched an electric Kona that has a 300 mile range if you want to go full electric and have a hydrogen fuel cell NEXO launched next year. You local tech now has to be a tech, electrician and chemist all in one if you don’t have access to a charge point then hybrid is the answer.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
