cms206 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Lots of stuff disappearing up here, Daewoo Nexias have all but gone though I keep seeing Esperos; there are at least five non-Cosseh Sierras around here, countless Mk3 Cavaliers (including another bloody pre-facelift which has just appeared)... not many 80s Fords or Vauxhalls now, loads of early Corsas for some reason, and at least a dozen of each of the below pictured examples of future shite which I never really recall as being common in the first place; my traffic manager has a 323 LXi Auto like this... 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLXi Estate by GoldScotland71, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Pit Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 In West Wales still see alot of the list about (probably due to the wages being very low in this part of the country). Agree with AnthonyG about the Chryslers never were many round here. The odd Sierra is still about plenty of MKII Mondeos (many still earning their keep on the cab ranks) the MKI is getting harder to find (I scrapped one last month). The Peugeot 405 is rare now however I get a lift in a mini cab one most saturday nights its a late one on an N reg in that nice metallic jade/turquoise colour. Loads of MKI Corsas still about and MKI Vectras however the MKIII Astra is getting scarce. MKIII Polos have survived better than MKIII Golfs (most of those seem to be on their last legs looking pretty rotten) and the mid 90's Passats have nearly all gone. There are afew B4 Audi 80's about but haven't seen a B3 for a good while, loads of A4's (ive just purchased one). Ford Escorts are still plentiful even saw an early MKV (without the oval grille) the other week not looking good on the Orion front though where are they???. Now its been mentioned I havent noticed a MKIV Fiesta for a while (zillions of Ka's), ill keep an eye out in the next week or so. Not loads of 80's/90's jap stuff as we didnt really have many/any dealers in the county til the 00's, adding to the Micra thing most of them were bought by OAPs and only do about 1000 miles a year so that would account for their high survival rate. Rover 200/25, 45/400 everywhere. 90's Mercedes Benzs all seem very rusty so they will probably disappear fast. Early Fiat Puntos seem thin on the ground as do early Clios. Loads of Ford Pumas about and still seem a popular choice especially for the young ladies but too new really to be considered shite. My nomination for a 90's car that just vanished....step forward the Renault 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
