HMV is a term I first heard used by Colin Macgregor
Stevens in Canada..
Dont' know if he was first, but I started using it
follwoing his example.and that was years ago..
cept we call them "heritage MV's" which I think is an
even a more dignified name than historic but as Steve
says...adding such designations give them a bit more
importance than mere "antique"
and yes its a worry outside the USA! and so should we
all be wary!!!
As I have said much earlier, and which Steve mentions
here as well, there is an ever increasing threat to
nasty "military" vehicles, which do not even have
anti-pollution controls!!!!!!
