Nice bit of spin there, does Alistair have a new job?

I hear from many that there's just no good quality small used cars about in the 10+ year old bracket, so many of those well cared for one mature owner gems vanished forever, scrappage and export buyers between them have left a void.

Ooh, don't get me started on the scrappage scheme.

I presume a few of them are here, gb. Brings a tear to the eye of anyone who views cars as more than domestic appliances:

I could spend days looking around there. All those cars with life left in them are going to be scrapped, while all the duds that truly are shot are still sitting in the streets waiting for the next unsuspecting punter. Doesn't make sense.

Couldn't agree more. I'd like to think that many of them had some sort of terminal fault rendering them fit for scrap, but I bet there are some absolute peaches sitting there rotting. It's wrong on every level.

Only a few and they are mostly very competent.

Those pics only confirm if it were needed the idiocy of UKplc.

By all accounts Mandelson (remember him?) bullied this through. He's gone. New set of idiots? New set of idiocies?

Just a thought............

What if those cars were flogged off, how much would it put into government coffers?

Maybe I'm missing something, but many of the cars in the foreground of the "close-up" photo don't look like 10 year old scrappers to me. Most of them are far too clean for a start!

My thoughts too. There's probably a significant number of vehicles that were traded in under the various 'scrappage a like' schemes the manufacturers were running in addition to the official one.
