Checking another car, I thought I'd put in the Fiat Tempra diesel (the parents had one) into How Many Left and there are now 0 on the roads. It was a rubbish car, but i'm a little sad 0 are left on the roads.



What other cars are now gone, never to be seen again?

I have no shame in admitting I had to google for a pic of a Tempra!

You must be quite young! Mid sized saloon from the early 90's. Galvanised bodies and quite a speedy (relatively!) turbo diesel. Huge boot. That's about all you can say about them really!

If i'm reading it right there are about 1000 Alfa spiders from my era left... if you combine the sorn with the the taxed?

It's isn't. There's dozens left. The OP can't interpret stats very well!

That website is not the 'be all and end all' of whether a car is still about I am afraid

Is my understanding correct that How many left relies on correct inputting of model makes and names, which may skew results?

Supposedly here isn't a single Alfa Romeo Arna left. I also have the UK's only known Yugo 313 sitting on my driveway

My first car!!! It was as quick as my mates xr3 convertible and had an electronic dash with turbo gauge.

Last time I saw one was about a year ago, it must have been in of the last.

I own the only vaguely roadworthy Datsun 1200 estate in the UK (AFAIK):


According to how many left there are 11 1200s (all coupe, saloon and estate variants) currently taxed.

When i passed my test back in 93 i wanted a Lancia Dedra.... But lost my nerve and bought a (then) 4 year old Orion 1.6i Ghia.

I am sure if i was so inclined i could go out and find an other nice Orion 1.6i Ghia but i wonder what my chances are of finding a Lancia Dedra Turbo??

I believe there used to be a car called the Renault Fuego - whatever one of those might be.

Saw one on a drive in Accrington a few weeks ago, first I've seen for years.

As it happens if you get the train from Brighton to London and look out of the port side window, there's one at the back of a farmer's field about half am mile away from the railway line. Such a distinctive shape I noticed it straight away.

I was given one of these as a runabout 10 years ago. It was on its last legs when I had it, deciding to stick itself in park almost every time that you stopped at a junction. Not surprised there's no autos left.

I also had a brown feugo thing for a week too, the joys of having to regularly borrow cars because you've blown your own one up yet again biggrin
