All this talk of the scrappage scheme, although not directly linked, has left me wondering, is there any cars that have actually become "extinct", in that they were made, but there is now no longer any single surviving road worthy models left? Now I'm sure there's probably a lot from the start of the 20th century, but other than that, is there any? Post pics of any that have been etc. I'm afraid I can't really post any pics since I don't know of any...

I'd be suprised if anything is actually extint, but there are a few models that are into single figures, or atleast in roadworthy terms anyway.
Matra Rancho's fall into this category i believe.

don't know of any extinct, but having done some fishing around about my latest project (Simca Aronde P60 wagon) I have only been able to uncover 2 still registered in Australia, out of the 1377 odd built by Chrysler Australia, so that has to be pretty close to extinct?

Practical classics mag report on models with few left occasionally, i don't keep old mags though so cant find out, i am pretty sure the majority of cars where few were left, all were from the late 70s and early 80s.

Ok, when is the last time any one saw a Yugo Sana or a Dacia Denim?

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in

how about anything by lancia, the early 80s cars were not the most rust proof car built but the superchared trevi from 1982 was a cool car to drive, wonder how many have survived the english winters

Mk2 cavalier commander, barely any of these left thanks to extremely poor rust protection from the factory I have had my eye open for a cavi commander on the net for ages, always liked em. Lived in Dorset 8 years back and there was a C plate one just down the road from me in Charminster Dorchester which was MINT. Anyone know of any going then? Also got eye open for Cavi Gsi

From the Rootes-Chrysler side of things, we all know the 'Arrow' estates are getting low, especially the Vogue version - three left, I believe. The Arrow Gazelle (Vogue with 1496cc engine) is down to similar figures. The Sunbeam Vogue was a rebadged car when the Singer name was dropped in 1970, and there is something like one saloon and one estate left. And of course, the Chrysler 180, gorgeous car, seven left.

And of course, the Chrysler 180, gorgeous car, seven left. My dad had one of those in the mid 80's. It was a £50 auction special. Just the kind of cars he loved. Along with the Wolsley version of the Landcrab, and a VX4/90, and a P6 V8. All of which sadly ended up in the crusher after the mobile welder admitted defeat each time.
