The MV Hobby, De-Mob

[KevinHann]

My Son is 11, my Nephew is 15. Both are very much into Re-enactment and MV's.

Both have built up some wonderful original (and reproduction) uniforms and kits and both are very keen to come with us and help us with our wartime trucks (My Commer and my Brothers GMC).

But, both boys already acknowledge that they wont be able to afford vehicles like ours in the future, not just the cost of buying them but also restoring, maintaining, running, insuring etc.

So, in saying that, they both know that the vehicles we have now and that they help us restore will one day be their responsibility, the curatorship will be handed down to them.

That is basically how I see our hobby moving forward, handing down the knowledge and getting these kids in at ground level on a restoration so they know everything about a project and they learn to take pride in the vehicles and the work they put into it.
