FIVA - BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL SURVEY EVER OF HISTORIC MOTORING ENTHUSIASTS
Enthusiasts from 74 countries participated including over 2,440 from Australia in FIVA's latest Survey.
Responses came from from individual members, clubs and businesses engaged in the hobby.
55,000 surveys were returned, covering 128,000 vehicles, 1735 clubs and 781 businesses.
Survey confirmed the huge financial contribution historic vehicle enthusiasts make to local and national economies - estimated globally at A$15 billion.
It also confirms historic cars and motorcycles typically travel relatively low mileages each year and are taken out on average 16 times/year.
Lars Genild, Chairman of the FIVA Legislation Committee commented: “It’s also critical to note that – at a time of changing attitudes towards the use of motor vehicles – historic vehicles, on average, travel extremely low distances and are primarily used for leisure purposes only......Meanwhile, our survey highlights the far-reaching value of historic vehicle clubs not only to individual enthusiasts but also, through events and activities, to society as a whole, preserving automotive heritage as a rolling museum for generations to come.”
More details will be made available shortly.
CHMC's Annual Rally for 2021 brought together over 100 historic vehicles from 24 affiliated clubs across NSW.
