More GTI's off to scrap?

Post by JEASPEKE »

From John Afd.

Maybe it is just me noticing it? But seems like quite a lot more GTi's, GSi's, etc being posted here, on FB and eBay for parts before scrapping.
Are others seeing the same?

For Rover 216 GTi's DVLA's 'how-many-left' website is showing only 28 on the road in Q2 2021, in Q2 2016 it was 51. So nearly 50% down.
Doubtful that more than a handful of the vehicles on SORN will come back now. For 1990 the figure is only 4 on the road (includes mine)

When is the next update of the DVLA's figures due? Does anyone know?

My 416 gti isn't going anywhere for a long time, the best car I've ever owned, looks amazing, and such a nice car to drive
