Just had a look on how many left, I realise the data probably isnt 100% accurate but Im not suprised what I found when I typed in the make of my first 2 cars :

Talbot Samba Trio - 0 left!

Renault 18 (all models) - 36 left!

In comparison, 2 of my current cars which are considerably older than the above :

Triumph Herald 1200 - 924 left

MGB GT - 8,500 left!!

Just goes to show that there seems to be little interest in saving cars from the 80's as opposed to those from the 60's!

I'm not sure how accurate the info is though, I'm sure I've seen a few at shows and things.

Might I suggest that you take a look here:

http://autoste.com/

A forum dedicated to buying, running and preserving all the humdrum automotive dross that usually gets ignored and scrapped until there's suddenly none left!

They also have a very active Facebook page!

It's not accurate at all, it says there are only 332 Transit T280's left......

I think all the others are used for towing caravans and transporting dags so unlikely they are registered anywhere hehe
