On the flip side, I don't think I've ever seen one. On the road or at a show.

Either way, their lack or presence on the roads is probably not a new thing.

Well HowManyLeft says there are 4 registered and 5 on SORN.

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/honda_z600

Not sure how many there ever was, only 168 in 1995. So a rapid attrition rate in the past 25 years or so.

Oh goodness, so many have "gone on" to the other side.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a fiat Uno, Panda, Punto... Original Zuke Vitara. Or an Escort, Granada or Siera. The list is LONG... Around these parts I do not even remember the last time I saw a 200tdi Discovery, loads of weekend tourist TD5s being thrashed around the green lanes mind Rolling Eyes

Always wanted a go in a Sisley 4x4 Panada Rolling Eyes


Blimey in 1994 there were 15k of my first car (Fiat Uno 999c injection Start 5 door) and today there are just 15 left running Shocked Such a good first car. Taught me a lot about green laning Whistle

I remember reading a post on a facebook group, about an Mk4 XR3i or something a long those lines. It was offered for sale, seller said it was original etc. The very 1st owners son, saw the advert. He said that his dad re shelled due it been so badly rotten, and he said that the bloke he sold it to, ended up re shelling it. So i often wonder when you see Fast fords of that era, is the plate still with the original body Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
