Hi Chris, as you say all surviving cars will become historic, but many cars with current historic status have been traded for the scrappage allowance, a while back there was a picture going around that showed an airfield full of scrappage cars, no Austin 7s or pre war as even for a restoration project they are worth more than the allowance, but lots of Heralds, MGs and 60s 70, cars and a few from the 40s and 50s and when you think about it these cars are now older than when many of today's Austin 7s were being saved back in the 50s/60s
