Most scrapped car ever?

[strangehighways]

Right,I found a tiny bit of info. on this but I'm sure you guys (and girls?) know a lot about this.Auto Express ran an issue in August 2006 detailing the most scrapped cars in the UK. I do not have this, DOES ANYONE??From WIKIPEDIA"Vauxhall sold 807,624 examples of the second generation Cavalier between 1981 and 1988. In August 2006, Auto Express magazine named it as the country's sixth most scrapped car of the last 30 years, with just 6,343 still in working order. The only car to cease production after the Cavalier Mark II, and which disappeared at a greater rate, was the Skoda Estelle (which was withdrawn from sale in 1990)."So the percentage of MK2 Cavs on the road, as of Aug 2006 = 0.79%Is it easy/possible to search for the number of a particular car that is taxed in the UK?

I think those figures are pretty dodgy, I vaguely remember it. For example, there are something like 100 examples of the Datsun 120Y left out of the circa 140,000 sold here. My trusty Casio says that’s a terrible 0.07%.What about examples of a model which is now completely extinct? I bet there must be a few, even from the last 30 years.

Lonsdale?Dacia Denem?Sao Penza must be heading that way too.

Toyota Tercel.

 

Used to see the odd 4WD kicking about, but I haven't seen any in years.

I think a FWD version was marketed here before the AE82 Corolla? I've never seen one of them.

I always take these 'surveys' with a pinch of salt as most are just classic cases of lazy journalism.Wasn't there a thing like this a couple of years ago that said all manner of cars had disappeared off our roads and yet half the bloody list were the kind of things you'd see a few times per day?

IIRC the mk1 Reno 5 was the most scrapped car in that survey.On a similar note...Are more Land Rovers being made every year than are being scrapped? Is the worldwide Land Rover population increasing or decreasing?

you'd think with 21,000,000 million+ beetles and the same number in golfs tht they dont get in

Whoa, that Tercel is a blast from the past. My parents had one when I was growing up. Ours was a 4WD model, and cause my dad was mates with the dealer owner, we got a good deal on it, the ex-demo model. Pretty low mileage when we got it, but all the shite accessories and options like the incline gauges Fogs, bull bars, the works! But woefully underpowered with its 1.4 petrol lump.D72 LNB, how I miss thee!Surprisingly few A40s survive. The club reckons about 500 from the 350,000 made

[Milford Cubicle]

I think they were 1.5 with a longitudinal engine - almost as if Toyota were too scared to deviate from RWD, so left the engine that way round.

Toyota Tercel.

All this Toyota Tercel talk.. nobody saw the one I posted in the Ebay Tat thread? It's on Autotrader, still:HERE

[Guest]

There were 1,662 Piazzas imported between 1986 and 1990.Of these, 55 are left complete. Out of those the IPTOC don't have a definitive figure as to how many are still roadworthy.So 3.3% of the original Piazzas brought in are left in the UK.

That should be the next pogmobile.

Parents neighbours had a Tercel - probably twenty five years ago though. Theirs was gold (and obviously the UK version) but would have looked something like this -

MK II Cav's are awesome cars. Our neighbour had a few back in the day, a B reg, then a E reg, one of the last. Both 1.6 GL's and they certainly went very well from what i remember going in them. Nice cars, always liked them. He then moved on to MK 3's, Starting with an F reg 1.6 GL, then moving on to a H reg SRI, which back in 91 was something quite special. Still remember him coming over to show my parents the SRI, then taking my father and myself up the A470 to see if it could reach the quoted 130 mph top speed! (it did )Legendary. Interestingly he never bought a Vectra, and now owns a Honda Accord

[shite_meister]

There are a few Toyota Tercels still on the roads over here.When I was working for Toyota we had what was then a two year old Corolla in for a service this would've been about 2002, the odd thing about it was that it looked like an updated Tercel with the later body and and engine so unique that we had to order the oil filter in as it was the only one over here.Surely a Rover SD1 must be quite high on the list along with something like a Talbot Horizon?? I know that last one is mega rare now.

[Lankytim]

I dont have the figures to had but we worked out that of all the Allegros built only 0.3% survive. Im not sure if the figures involved are correct though!Maybe its 0.3% that are still MOT'd,I cant remember.

[Mash]

Usually it's the most ubiquitous everyday stuff that gets scrapped the most by it's very nature as a disposable item almost.One of these surveys highlighted the fact that the Marina had the lowest survival rate relative to the number produced and most people took it completely the wrong way to mean that Marinas were mega-rare and it probably caused a brief blip in values! That's probably when the Top Gear bashing started in earnest too....

i had a front wheel drive tercel 1.3 snapped the cambelt twice at about 70mph in my ownership, tow home get new belt 10mins labour and it's back on the road. this car was the easiest belt chainge that i have ever done, really liked the car and got rid when i bought a corolla gt coupe.

Saw what appeared to be a minter, red on a D plate a few weeks ago in Staffordshire Moorlands. Wanted a photo, didn't get it
