Yep its an international market -I reviewed a photo of An Auckland New Zealand Vintage Car Club meeting from the early 60's and almost all the cars pictured were now overseas (mostly in the States ) so it happens in reverse as well.

Its found a lovely home here , will be used , cherished by its new owner and will never be chopped up as a hot rod !
