Your new Next Generation Diaries series focusing on young enthusiasts, is a major step in the right direction. We are an ageing bunch (I am 66) and if our hobby is to survive, we need young blood to carry on – and gradually replace us.
The article covering Luke Roberts’ 1954 Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire is excellent. Luke has done well to find a remotely affordable insurance for a big-engined car that’s also used for racing (and beer deliveries!). This is a major achievement, almost a mission impossible for a young person. I wish Luke and enthusiasts like him every success and many happy miles.
It's a shame I only have one classic. If I ever manage to have more, I will happily lend one of them to a young enthusiast under the Classic Car Loan Project.
The other good news is about the race being run entirely on synthetic fuels at the Goodwood Revival Meeting (CCW, 10 May). Any positive development with synthetic fuels delights me, partly because I am distrustful of electric vehicles. I intend to stick with my 1960 Škoda Octavia and my everyday Volvo V40 petrol hatchback, both used quite sparingly.
