Most of them have been transformed into kit cars haven't they?

I did see one around Leicester in was Red and looked like New but thats it.

I remember at the end of last year seeing this thing on one of the sky chanals all abot the Sierra covering the range and the amount of money that they put into putting the car into production

Did not move from the tv for the full hour.
Took me back to being at school and mates dad dropping them off in them and thinking .....wow. :y

That'll be the rust then .... they've all probably gone to the great Iron Oxide repository in the sky .... :)

There are 2 or 3 in sunny Cornwall that I see on a regular basis. One is a silver hatchback and the other 2 are both sapphires. They are a dying breed.

I have spotted a very tatty saloon the other day and spotted a 2.0 Ghia for sale a while back and thought at the time I should buy that as there are not many about now. I think these have all disapeared as they are usually run until they fail an MOT and then are just scrapped.

Occasionally see the odd J/K reg Sierra about - but Mk3 Cavaliers are a rare sight these days.

I guess once the first £200 bill comes in (MoT time, usually), they get weighed in.  With places offering minimum £80/£100 per car...makes economic sense.

Most of the old stuff is only kept if its a Cosworth/XR/GSi etc..

Shockingly, a lot of early Rover x14's about...

Have noticed a lot of late 190E Mercs (J/K/L) around for some reason. but generally speaking there's still a lot of pre-cat (H/J/K) cars about, then a gap till P/R reg's. Must be those early cat'd ones with £400 MoT bills..

Strangely, many old cars are still around.
VWs
BMWs
Audis.
All of the above due to galvanised bodies.

Diesel PUGs. Due to a million mile durability. I still don't understand why they aren't an oily engine surrounded by a plie of rust.

The only old fFords that are worth the TLC it takes are the good ones.
Here's one or two...
