There is probably no need to replace all UK cars either.

  My thoughts exactly. We will still need cars of course, but don't necessarily need to replace them one-to-one. I hope alternative transport will fulfill most needs in a way that will reduce car ownership in the first place.

    This is my hope, too. Already I can cycle almost anywhere in my city but it's harder for those who are less confident on the roads (or those who can't bounce when an accident does occur or can't face down some dangerous driver). There are now ambitious plans for cycling, and micro-mobility, infrastructure in UK cities but they need our central government(s) to stop being so car-centric (still!) and make the proper investments.

  I would like conversions to become more common and thus significantly reduce the price. As city-centre diesel bans come in, and the road tax increases, then converting an existing vehicle would be great. It would make a nice little industry spread out through the UK. An example would be my VW T5 '08 campervan conversion. As it's converted to a camper it has more than twice the resale value of the van alone. Unfortunately the DIY conversion kit is currently in excess of UKP 10k. Add other costs and it's not, yet, worth tackling.
