There's an old guy on my street that still has a Morris Ital!! Still going, but looks a bit on the rusty side.

Awsome, we had one of them, first family car I can remember us having. Had a hole in the wing you could put your fist through, really reliable though.

Thinking about it, three of my mates own pretty unusual cars- one's got a ratty early 80's mini, another has a Saab 96 V4 which is just brilliant (and very smart too), and another (spearson on here) has just chopped in his corsa c (which his polo was chopped in for a while back) for a '71 Triumph Spitfire!

Ford Sierra - Hardy ever

Ford Escort MK3 & Mk4 - Mk4 there are still loads.

Fiesta MK2 - quite rare

Vauxhall Astra mk3 - still a few

Most of the lower models of those things were scrapped years ago!!

I saw this rare beast the other day;

I haven't seen many of this breed about.........can anyone tell me what it is????

That sir is a UDO

From my experience:

Ford Sierra - Now and again (in the past - all the time, we used to have one!)

Ford Escort MK3 & Mk4 - Slightly rarer than a Sierra (again used to be common as muck)

Fiesta MK2 - Very rare, I've not seen one in at least a year up here (common in the early 90's)

Vauxhall Astra mk3 - Fairly common but getting thin on the ground

Vauxhall Nova - Probably same rarity now as a Mk3/4 Escort up here, if not rarer

Vauxhall Senator - Not seen one in ages (there wasn't too much that used to go about when they were still on sale)

VW MK2 Passats - Very very rare (used to see the odd one going about back in the day)

Renault 5 - See the odd one once in a blue moon (used to be common)

Renault 11 - Not seen one in many years (I do remember them though)

Renault 19 - Common in the early 90's, never see them up here now

Peugot 104 - Don't remember at all, certainly nothing up here

Peugot 505 - Another once in a blue moon sighting

Peugot 309 - Seem to all have disappeared

Vauxhall Cavalier - Like the Sierra, now and again, they are pretty reliable if looked after

Volvo 340 - Thankfully hardly ever, though some young guys have bought one in Aberdeen and put a comedy exhaust on it - they drive round the beach frequently in it

I used to see Vauxhall Frontera's all the time. Then I went on holiday for 3 weeks, and came back to find that they had all become extinct!

My experience.....

Ford Sierra - Dad had a few as company cars, seen one the other day

Ford Escort MK3 & Mk4 - Only seen as sheds or chav mobiles

Fiesta MK2 - Not for a while

Vauxhall Astra mk3 - Mum had one, fell apart!

Vauxhall Nova - Someone owns a saloon opposite where I work

Vauxhall Senator - Not seen one in ages

VW MK2 Passats - Seen one the other day (shed)

Renault 5 - Nearly owned one!

Renault 11 - Not for a while

Renault 19 - Made had one, someone drove into it!

Peugot 104 - Pass

Peugot 505 - Pass

Peugot 309 - Rusty old diesels only

Vauxhall Cavalier - Like the Sierra, Dad had a one as a company car, replaced by Vectras

Volvo 340 - Not for a while
