What do we all think is going to happen to the kit car market past 2040? I'm guessing if no new petrol or diesel cars can be sold then this could apply to new type approval cars such as kit cars going through IVA?
i can't see anyone's going the electric route with complicate systems and safety issues, plus getting hold of the kit, plus the dull driving experience .
is this the death of great sounding petrol and diesel kit cars? That day will come and what a sad day it will be.
There's always steam?

Yes I expect this would extend to kit cars using ic engines also as the IVA is low volume type approval.
That's only 22 years away!!!....I'd better get a move on with my build!!!
Ditto but you aren't taking my crown!
I'm sure you can make it long before 22years are passed!
Technology is making for a much more boring life!
electric WRC cars? God help us all. Imagine a future where there will be a generation of kids that have never heard an IC engine run, or the howl of an F1 engine or fire spitting rally cars.
Electric cars?
With Italian wiring?
The World is gonna burn!!!
I can't imagine the AA turning up and saying an electrical problem? Think they will become a tow company straight to the dealer .
