This was singlehandedly ruined by cheapskate people driving barely-tax-free 80's diesel mercedeses, with big clouds of smoke pouring from the exhaus.
The gov't was going to get rid of all classic car tax exemptions, but some classic car clubs lobbied to keep it, and now the rules are all confusing and against non-petrol fuel.

Yeah, they really don't care about the footprint, they only care about the tailpipe emissions, and old cars don't normally come with modern fuel injection and emissions controls. Other than that, they only care about tax, it seems..
