Found a link to this on another forum, but thought this was fascinating reading. I thought the 2009 scheme was madness, with loads of foreign cars
being purchased and some great useable cars taken off the road years before their time.
Anyway, here's the breakdown of the cars scrapped...
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/car-scrappage-scheme-in-2009
Well that explains what happened to the rovers.
Not one 911. ... so where are the 60-80s 911s? You dont see many on the roads., are the sitting in barns and garages?
Humph.. my neighbour chopped his Sierra in after he promised it me when it failed the mot.

I thought the cars had to have a current MOT to be accepted in the scrappage scheme.
Who would scrap a road worthy Austin Healey.
There's no wonder classic prices are so high!
Surprised to see a Dutton Pheaton in there, I thought they were all morphing into 7s
Seriously though that file is an excellent example of Garbage in Garbage out, with a simple filter on the inputs all those duplicate, mis spelled
makes and models, incorrectly completed fields etc. could have been avoided, and the data much more usable....
150 MG B's scrapped! I've always had a soft spot for those
As said lots of badly imputted info on there, is this typical of government information?
'Ford Mercedes C class'
'Ford Rover 100'
etc.
I noticed an Autobarn Gecko (1) listed towards the beginning. That was a Mini-based kit car, similar in application to a Scamp.
I suppose that the £2000 towards a new car must have been very attractive. More than the Gecko's market value.
306 Nissan bluebirds...sadly missed they could have all sat on my drive
but shockingly 202 classic landrovers! why??? They can be endlessly rebuilt!
there's even a rare WBADL82000BZ74938

But yes, a total of 392227, a very large number of which should not have been scrapped.
Many of them were not scrapped......they were shipped out to Eastern Europe by the lorry load!!
I was expecting more discoveries and range rovers myself, early ones have certainly disappeared from the roads
The whole thing was just a method for the government to funnel taxpayers money into a struggling industry while attempting to avoid the EU from declaring it as an illegal subsidy.
^^^ yeah but if the cars are imported, which majority are, then surely it id johnny foreigner that benefit, uk would get some tax and employ a few
delivery drivery driver.
Be useful to know how much cash went into uk government coffers vz ehat was paid out.
