I wonder how much these cars could be worth to the owners if they manage to find them

None of them are vintage or even veteran. They are classic at best and in the main worthless in that condition . The busses have fared better I assume they brought the TC's to the bases. I assume they are trying to contact owners so they can get permission to dispose of them.

According to the article.....Now the SBAs are trying to trace the vehicles back to their original owners to hand them back.

Maybe worthless to you or I, but maybe to the original owners, if they can find them, might be a sentimental value to them if they have room to store.

Looks like they are more fit for the scrap yard

As they are all in the South at the moment, would the owners now have to pay import duty on them to bring them "Home" to the North? Just a thought but governments are governments and will quickly jump on a way to make a fast buck!

I've owned a few cars in that condition over the years!
