I think that Brexit has brought another dimension to this. I have two foreign classics and although parts availability is good in both cases, getting them here from Europe has just become that bit more expensive and long winded. This hasn't, as yet, impacted badly on my enjoyment of the cars, but will definitely influence my future choice.
This is one of the reasons why I now also have a Wolseley in the garage rather than a small Citroen.

Give it time. Just because the politicians have fallen out doesn't mean the people hold a grudge. Sooner or later it will dawn on the 'Powers that be' that there is nothing to be gained from making life difficult for everyone and a working compromise will be delivered.
