September 30, 201411 yr https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/357672/bis-foi-2014-20775-scrapped-vehicles-supporting-data.csv A list of all the vehicle's that met their end through the scrappage scheme. Far to many good cars that should have been saved ! And a lot of very **** ones that deserved to die
September 30, 201411 yr Author Suppose it's a case of ahh well it's a nailed on 2k saves trying to flog it or break it
September 30, 201411 yr Amount cash it made the government with the price of scrap tho selling to the Chinese
October 1, 201411 yr It was simply a blatant government subsidy to the international (manufacturers) and national (dealers) car industry. How I wish I could be so !Removed! at my business that the government would bail me out with £1,000 per customer..........the other grand was purportedly to be given by the dealer......Right! It should only have applied to vehicles manufactured inside the UK. Short term fix but long term very very costly.....it did wonders for the economy, trouble is its the German, Japanese and especially the Korean, economy and hardly ours. People were encouraged to buy new cars they could little afford. The service industry jobs in cars, repair, spares and servicing were hit quite badly. If everyone with a car 10 yrs or over took advantage of the scheme it would have cost the taxpayer over £14 billion. The car I drive today will be 10 years old next year and is as good if not exceedingly better than anything built in Korea! Just my rant. :) I suppose it got all those !Removed! old Escorts and Capris of the road though. :P

October 1, 201411 yr Author Look at all the rovers ! All the oldies chopping them in for kias and hyundis. Shame about the 60plus foz's and the sole integra type R amongst the other casualties
October 9, 201411 yr Guys, there is any kind of "scrapyard" where someone can buy a supra (for example), for a lower price? It would be nice to have something like a project car :)
October 9, 201411 yr Author Plenty of breakers around, 95% of cars that end up there are either mechanically dead or structurally dead so the chaces of finding a srraight shell and running engine are slim to nonein the same place, best bet would be ebay
October 9, 201411 yr This makes me so sad... I wish I had a house with a nice garage to save at least one of these... :(
