MG MGA - National Historic Vehicle Survey

As a long-time non-UK resident, I don't have much to do with the UK any more, but post this link for all UK residents

Here's some info from the FBHVC and a link to the survey, should anyone wish to take part.

-------------------------------------------

Please complete the National Historic Vehicle Survey to keep transport heritage on our roads.

The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs are having to make the case for historic vehicles retaining their current access and freedoms on our roads more and more strongly in coming years, as we navigate the most challenging period in our history. In order to defend the future of historic vehicles, they need your help by completing this crucial survey.

The Yorkshire Post recently quoted Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Transport as saying “I’m sorry internal combustion engine fans, I think its days are overall likely to be numbered.”
A local authority, in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, recently debated a motion, which was fortunately defeated, to cancel its historic vehicle rally and parade.

The historic vehicle community, its events, freedoms to use the roads and even the fuel we use, are under increasing threats and pressures amidst a changing landscape of political and environmental influences.

If we are to defend the use of historic vehicles, then we need to act and act now. The Federation needs your help.

The FBHVC is in the process of carrying out its 2020 National Historic Vehicle Survey, an update to a similar survey undertaken in 2016. If we are to represent the case for historic vehicles in the best possible way we need to have up to date information about the movement and how important the movement is to the economy, particularly in current COVID-19 circumstances.

The answers you give in this survey, will help shape the future for historic vehicles within the United Kingdom for the next 5 years.

The FBHVC aims to lobby Government against adverse legislation and restrictions that may affect the future for historic vehicles. But, in order to achieve a positive result, the organisation needs to have reliable data on the significance and size of the historic vehicle movement to hand.

The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete depending on the answers you give. Please complete the survey in one sitting.

On submission of your questionnaire, you will be given the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win one of the following prizes: A year’s Club Insurance policy to the value of £250 including IPT, courtesy of Peter James Insurance, one of three pairs of tickets for the 2020 Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show with Discovery, Courtesy of Clarion Events, or one of 15 display copies of the FBHVC’s historic vehicle wall chart.

Thanks for highlighting the survey Dominic.
I just did it and it is very simple and quick.

Well, I was curious to see what kind of questions the survey is asking so I took the survey not planning on submitting it since I'm not in the UK. When I got to the end (I didn't notice I had gotten there), I aimed to hit "BACK" to review one of my answers but apparently hit "SUBMIT" by mistake and that is apparently an irreversible action.

OOPS!

Although I believe that FIVA relies on national surveys, I think it can help to answer your own survey as well. I have responded to the survey in Spain and internationally. I attach the link.
