With the onset of the scrappage Scheme, to many cars are no longer going to been seen on the road, love em or hate em, many cars of today could be the classics of tomorow, well in 20 years to come.
What would happen to the MINI if so many enthusiasts didn’t keep them going?
If you like your car, keep it, store it, i wished i hade with many of my past motors.

Age also had to be taken into hand, How can a Type R be a Classic and not the Daddy of all hatches the Golf GTI??
