By renting it out to film companies, hiring out old vehicles can be very lucrative!

I know a car restorer that had famous car that was renting it to a film company in Hollywood at £1.500 a day for 7 weeks. It sat at Heathrow for 5 days on rental waiting to be flown to the states.

Russ Collins. I lived in Toronto in 1976 and went to a Bike Show near the Airport. Russ Collins was there showing (and chatting to all and sundry) his twin CB750 Engined Drag Bike. It was a huge beast and I wondered how he managed to ride....but ride it he certainly did. Top Dragster for many, many years.
