The sad thing is, this moggy would have been road worthy. So in effect rather than a restoration project or an already dead one going to scrap... good ones are being handed over.
My Minor:
A Clarendon Grey 1953 4 Door Series II.
MMOC - 66535
It's a con! There is no £2000 to be saved - you can actually get a BETTER deal at many places if you go along with NO trade-in. And - you have the option to buy a pre-registered car (of which there are loads!) and save even more cash.
I find this very very sad. I have just sold one that looked exactly the same. I spent many hours improving it for the next owner. I really can't believe it.
Are these people stupid? Don't they realise they don't make Morris Minors anymore?
I suppose it is their choice and their car, it is just sad that the cars HAVE to be scrapped.
I would never bring myself to crush any car, let alone a Moggie.
it's a good thing that cars are at least being dismantled to keep others on the road, might be stupid but a site which lists cars that are being victims of this scheme would be good as owners can contact scrappers and buy the parts off them
Do these cars have to be crushed to comply with the scheme or can they be broken and sold for spares at some stage?, I would have thought they would need to disappear completely.
For those of us who were at the last AGM I seem to remember that when this proposal was discussed we were assured that as far as classic cars were concerned they would not be affected.
There should be a ruling that exempts cars with a Historic licence disc from qualifying. No that would be too difficult!!!!!!!!!!!
If the present government had not frozen the rolling 25 year tax exemption that would have at least covered more potential classics. Anything before '84 would have historic status
