Scrappage campaign

Sign the petition to help out British car buyers and to boost UK car sales

Britain’s biggest car magazines and websites have joined forces to urge the Government to support demands to stimulate new car sales in the UK.

Dennis Publishing Ltd, (publishers of Auto Express, evo, and iMotor), and Haymarket Magazines (publishers of Autocar, WhatCar?, Evecars and Pistonheads) are calling on the Government to urgently implement a Scrappage Incentive Scheme, similar to those already successfully employed in Europe.

Under the proposed scheme, the Government will pay owners of cars over nine years old £2,000 towards the cost of buying a new car if they agree to scrap their old vehicle.

Dennis Publishing Ltd and Haymarket Magazines believe the scheme will deliver real and major help in the current recession to the consumer and UK workforce.

Older cars are more polluting, more expensive to maintain and less safe than newer, cleaner, more reliable vehicles. Under the Scrappage Incentive Scheme, owners of older vehicles will be given a huge incentive to change to a safer, cleaner car, while generating sales for the industry.

Dennis Publishing and Haymarket Magazines urge you to join our campaign for a better deal for the car buyer. Click here to sign the petition.
