Which 80s autos do we know have died out to nil

[SambaS]

For instance there's at least one uk FSO Polonez, Richies. At least one Talbot Samba Sport, a Pk Jimp or ten, even some Yak Yeomans. PC has an Alfa Arna.... id suggest the Talbot Samba Trio is gone for good, and maybe the Lonsdale? Discuss...

[SambaS]

Dacia Duster? I very nearly bought. **Kicking self** but maybe a few left

[ProgRocker]

Daihatsu Charmant?

Daihatsu Charmant?

Hasn't Hirst got one of these?

[SambaS]

a nice gold one came into the scrapyard up here 5 years ago. The only Charmant ive seen in the flesh. I dont know its fate although i doubt it was favourable

He has indeed, this one I believe:

One left in Q3 last year but IIRC that one on here that was rumoured to be the last wasn't scrapped until Q4. Guess we'll know for sure when HML gets the Q4 data.

 

What about the Dacia Denem? Lots of rumours but is there any concrete proof of its continued existence?

[trigger]

That "howmanyleft" site is a load of bollox as has been covered on here many times, take it with a pinch of salt as it's normally wrong, The last Malaga i know off died last year in a engine fire incident.

[SambaS]

Yes plenty of cars will have just dropped off the system I imagine, i just see it as the best guestimate available

[shaun1706]

I have said it before and I will say it again, LONSDALE

[SambaS]

Aye, I thought Lonsdale, I always keep my eye out for them. How many were ever here in the first place?

[SambaS]

Lonsdale 2.6 DDF 521Y (brown) date of liability 01 08 91

[SambaS]

Lonsdale 2.0 blue DDF 520Y liability 01 11 91 Lonsdale 2.0 red DDF 519Y liability 01 07 92

[SambaS]

Lonsdale 2.6 Brown DDF 522Y liability 01 02 88

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Aren't Lonsdale a brand of chavvy tracksuits sold by SPORTSDIRECT?

[SambaS]

yes and an Australian built Mitsubishi Sigma that was imported to uk in early 80s

[SambaS]

I bet there's some out there

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

mmm...Mitsubishi Stigma. I like.

[quicksilver]

I know HML isn't to be trusted but it says 5 Lonsdales were taxed in Q3 2011 so there's a good chance at least one is still around somewhere. I thought I saw a recent photo of a laid-up one somewhere but now I can't find it so either it was something else or my shite-deprived brain imagined it.

[eddyramrod]

We did have one on here within the last year (I think), and there was a question over it being Lonsdale or Mitsubishi. As it was spotted in Paphos and I know the owner, I asked; it's a Mitzi. Unless anyone can think of another we've had here?
