Proliferation of M-series vehs on the market

[Ed Williamson]

I had a fairly large collection of MVs for many yrs. I had over 30 at one time. When I hit 65 I found that it was just to hard for me to keep working on them. I do have more health issues than most but I was still not too bad. It was just to hard for me to do anything with the big stuff. I slowly started to sell and it took me 6 yrs but now only have a couple of small units left and two Mogs. One of the other reasons I started to sell was the Govt. overreach in licencing the units. Our prov. (Sask.) canceled my HUMMV licence plates and started to restrict some of my other units as well. They started to question if MVs were allowed to be street legal. Sask also told me I could only licence my DUKW for water or land not both???? I had a Sunbeam amphicar a few yrs ago and no issues with it. It just got to the point that it was not worth the fight anymore and I was by myself none of the classic car clubs were interested in fighting the Govt. as it was not affecting them YET. I wish the hobby well and hope it survives but I think its only going to get worse. Good luck everyone.
