Makes you wonder, doesn't it??
« on: 28 July 2010, 10:49:55 »
OK, so we have thousands of supposed members (but only a few hundred "active") who have miggy's, some of us have more than one.
So, that means we can account for at least 7000 miggys that are still on the road and used, but does anybody want to hazard a guess on how many MV6, or  Elite models are left in this country running, used, and relatively "OK"???

Every day we hear on the forum of another one scrapped and broken up for bits. How many MV6 and Elites were actually manufactured and sold in the UK???

Can't be that many ones left now in good nick.........In another perhaps ten years, it could be a rare sight to even see one on our roads, and will definately be a sought after classic, even ex-plods!!

Is this worth a poll to see how many MV6 and Elites we have in the forum, including estates too, in a different list??

Please discuss, cos I am really intrigued.

This set me wondering......
Please be honest, if you have a roadworthy one and a scrapper in your drive that will never see the open road again, vote ONE.
However, if you have a couple, as long as they are all ROADWORTHY or "will be on the road soon cos of a bit of TLC" it's OK to vote both.

Thankyou.

My point exactly!!

Reckon there is as many "in bits" or about to be broken cos its uneconomical to fix than roadworthy examples!!

I picked just one, as the only one which will see open roads again, is the one I drive.

The other (Cam Belt failure) had lots of underlying issues which would have cost far too much for it to be a 'good car', even if it was structurally sound and aesthetically good.

I'll add, that I haven't made money from it as such..... all bits I've charged for, have been sold to members of OOF and I charged buttons compared to their market value.

Anything to keep other Migs on the road!  :y
