The group of people that own £3m+ houses is relatively small, and therefore presumably not really the problem.
The problem is that you can get finance on a Range Rover if you've got a job flipping burgers at McDonalds.

What's that? I thought a petrol car needed to be 2006 or newer?

The main problem is that you can't really squeeze the majority of people that own the big stupid cars.
For many people in the big £2m+ houses near me (in the SW London bubble) the monthly payments on a £60k wankpanzer are just a rounding error in their monthly household accounts. You could treble fuel duty, VED, etc and it wouldn't change their behaviour one bit. They'd probably vote for a party that proposed that as it would price huge numbers of people in littler cars off the roads.
