Rubbish.
Go to any VSCC club event, where you will find dozens of well fettled Austin Sevens, the majority of which driven by younger drivers.
At a recent winter trial, with just over 100 cars entered, almost 50 were Austin's.
Good cars fetch high prices, which is in part reflective of the costs to (re)build.
We are luckier than ever, with cheap motor insurance, a wonderful choice of spares and parts via several key suppliers. And for those who can't work on their own cars - plenty of skilled engineers to help.
I could list half dozen firms who have over a year's work in their order books.
