Some of you encountered an error when attempting to complete the survey - this has been now addressed, so please try again. Please participate in the crucial National Historic Vehicle Survey and keep transport heritage on our roads![]() The survey typically takes around 10-15 minutes to complete, and is best completed in 'one sitting'. Why the survey is vital The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs will have to argue even more strongly for historic vehicles to retain their current access and freedoms on our roads in the coming years as we navigate the most challenging period in our history. To defend our freedom to use yesterday's vehicles on tomorrow's roads, we need your help completing this crucial survey. We conduct this major research every five years and more than 15,000 enthusiasts participated last time around. We want to make this survey the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in the world, so please take part, have your say, and help keep the historic vehicles that we love on the road for the benefit of everyone in the future. The Federation represents more than 500 clubs, museums, and individual members passionate about historic vehicles older than 30 years, such as cars, motorcycles, buses, coaches, lorries, agricultural, military, or steam vehicles. Due to changing political and environmental influences, the historic vehicle community, events, the freedom to use the roads, and even the fuel we use are under increasing threats and pressures. The FBHVC aims to lobby the Government against detrimental legislation and restrictions that could impact the future of historic vehicles. However, to secure a successful outcome, the organisation needs dependable data on the significance and scope of the historic vehicle movement. The responses you provide will help shape the future of historic vehicles in Great Britain over the next five years by providing crucial data.

The Federation first conducted research in 1997 and has repeated the process at least every five years since then. HM Government values this research for providing a consistent approach that demonstrates accurate traceability and the development of the historic vehicle movement over time. Such transparency fosters trust in the government and ensures that the 1.9 million historic vehicles recorded on the DVLA database are treated fairly and appropriately. The survey encompasses all historic road vehicles, including cars, bikes, lorries, vans/motorhomes, military vehicles, buses/coaches, tractors/agricultural vehicles, and steam vehicles. Details of the previous research can be found here Any questions? We have tested the survey to ensure that it works on all modern computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones. If you are having problems and are using 'modern' equipment, please let us know. The survey closes at 2359hrs on 31 May 2025 and the results will be published in the autumn. For this, and all other questions, in the first instance please contact the Secretary [email protected] Try our club scheme - just call the friendly team at Peter James Insurance on 0121 274 5392 and remember to tell them you're a member of Enthusiasts of British Motor Vehicles to get all the benefits of the scheme.
