It's a numbers game.
The situation with CMPs in Australia is that there has always been (in my lifetime) plenty of them around. You could easily fill your yard with them and the reality is that there have always been more trucks available than people to care for them.. Over the years the scrappies have been a real opposition but now the price of scrap is so low the cost of aquiring an unrestored truck is usually easily within reach. It just remains to see how many people are interested in doing so. The current generation doesn't seem much interested as the previous generation drops away. Us older folk grew up surround by the people who had lived through and had fought the war so there was a connection with equipment from that era.
All things must pass.
