Exclamation The 11 Rarest Cars on Britains Roads.....

Autoexpress employees had **** all to do at their offices the other week so came up with this gem....

- Morris Marina (1971-1980)

- Ford Cortina Mark IV/V (1976-1982)

- Renault 18 (1979-1986)

- Renault 5 (1972-1983)

- Skoda Estelle (1977-1992)

- Vauxhall Cavalier Mark III (1981-1989)

- Austin/Rover Metro (1980-1994)

- Austin/Rover Montego (1984-1995)

- Austin/Rover Maestro (1983-1995)

- Fiat Uno (1983 -1989)

................ And they're rare because?........ That's right!...... They're ****...

Well spotted

I would disagree with the Austin Metro though, I see hundreds of those a week (driven by old biddies) in Tesco's!

Alot of Austin / Leyland cars on the list, I'm surprised the Allegro, Princess or SD1 Rover isn't on there? I think the writing was on the wall even then!
