Cheers,
Yes Jacques . It's the case with most so called car 'swap meets' these days, not just Bendigo . The next generation of car restorers has come along, to a 20 year old , a 1960's car is a antique and you just have to watch TV shows like classic restos to see the huge following the 1960's cars have these days - and they are generally more valuable than older 1920's cars .
