2025 National Historic Vehicle Survey


The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) has released its 2025 National Historic Vehicle Survey (NHVS) – the most comprehensive study ever conducted into the UK’s world-leading historic vehicle movement.

The findings reveal that interest in Britain’s motoring heritage is booming, and that it is a thriving and valuable sector that continues to grow.

Historic vehicles, from cars to lorries, buses and motorcycles, represent not only engineering excellence but also cultural and social history.  Despite the growing number of vehicles, their limited use means the sector’s environmental footprint remains tiny. Historic vehicles contribute only 0.2% of all UK road mileage, yet generate significant tourism, education and cultural value.
