Christ the vaux nova, now the last one I spotted was one with the boot on a A plater, driven by an old fella, That was the 1st one with the boot I saw since 2008,
the Ax have gone now from up here, last one I jump started at work and that was a derv one,
corsa B has started to thin out now, and the phase 1 saxo has gone now,
Mk2 fiestas are still about up here, we had a yellow van one knocking about, I think I am the last metro now in sunderland, as the R100s that were about have gone, and the lad with the diesel powered one I think scrapped his.
when I did my counter balance a kid didn't even know what a metro or a nova was!
until he saw mine! the lad I think was only 18.
The last cosworth i saw was an RS 500, that was out for a drive on a sunday last year, That was the only one i saw since 2010 as my mot tester had a sapphire.

Escort Xr3i, Vauxhall Cavalier, Ford Sierra/Sapphire,Austin Metro, even the good old Mini 1000 you hardley ever see, even though they made 10000000000000000000000000000's of 'em. Talbot Solara, Alpiine, Fiesta Supersport, Renault Fuego, any one remeber the Talbot Rancho Matra ?? god i'm so old !!
