The great news for both VPW & Robert Motors is the Internet. I would hazard a guess that business has tripled with the growth of the Internet. Lots of people read Hemmings & have seen the ads in the Advertiser, but it's just not the same as going to their Websites, emailing & finding great Forums like Joes where we can get references from other like minded people & links to reputable shops & suppliers.
It's tough for the small guy, but the small guy needs to learn to use these fantastic tools to their advantage & change with the times.
I run a small business outside my daily job & through the Internet have grown to the point where I earn more from my hobby business than at work.
All is not lost, but it is very sad to see some of the talented people go under with the changes.
