Steve,
A number of the vehicles are going to be sold (including mine). I don't really have a problem with common types such as these leaving the country because we live in a global village.
Information from someone who works with the the Moveable Heritage people who issued our export permits indicates there are nearly twice as many veteran, vintage and classic cars coming into Australia as are going out. One of our vehicles was a protected object and must be returned.
Several of our members have brought in historic vehicles from overseas (I have brought in 5 and if I sell my Normandy Chev it will only make 2 I have exported. I have also brought in 7 rare vintage aircraft and exported 2).
I think people who are worried about a few dozen vehicles a year going out of the country should look at the hotrod people who are destroying thousands of historic vehicles a year!
