The above list totals to 3381 vehicles as at August 2005. ASOC are aware that a small number of vehicles have been dismantled since the date of the list and it is possible that there may be cars, particularly overseas, that the club is not aware of but this list puts the survival rate in a correct 'ball park'
This number of vehicles means that ASOC is able to maintain a viable spare parts service and to support the many owners that there are world-wide although, naturally, nobody can expect to find a full range of spares for the more elderly cars, after all, some of them are now centenarians.
