In terms of the car's carbon footprints.“I'm a big fan of classic cars and am in the classic car business.“There was some work done by a guy called Henry Pearman who showed that with a lot of classic cars, because their carbon footprint is so old and if you're keeping your car for 10, 20 years, that’s 10, 20 years of which to [overcome] the impact in terms of carbon where the bulk of it happens during manufacturing.“So it’s kind
