Not really. emissions will be similar for 95, 97 and 99 / diesel or veg. huge amount of pollution comes from manufacture of new cars, lots of energy/water/oil used to stamp panels and make plastics. Overall, even with less efficient engines, our classics will be less polluting than going and buying a new eurobox.

Plus new cars have parts flown in from all over the world, and are transported from whichever country they're built in to whichever country they're sold in...
