Title: Endangered Species?
Post by: M Kerr on 23 December 2013, 13:50:06
Would anyone concur with my observation that there far fewer Migs on the road now at the end of 2013 than about a year or so ago?  Still plenty of us on here it seems but I am getting a bit lonely on the road...  :'(

It is nice to be a bit different but I can't help worrying about the rate of their disappearance.

This time last year on ebay there were anywhere around 150 for sale but in the last 3 months this has dropped to around 80 average..is this because we are holding on to them in the hope they become classics or are they being scrapped because of metal worm or to expensive to run  :-\ :(

Definately a Brum thing it seems.  I don't spot 1 as often as every second month and right now I don't remember the last 1.  (Maybe I should get to a meet?) :)

Not counting mine[as that's a given]there are about half a dozen round here that I see on a regular basis,a silver estate,a white estate and 4 saloons,there may even be a couple more that I don't see quite so often.
