an interesting thread.
and many very very good points above.
but its not just the value of ulsters, that makes people destroy perfectly restorable cars. the lack of people wanting an austin seven or even a pre-war car. makes it harder for sellers to sell less desirable cars.
also lets not get to wrapped up with what dealers do with cars, yes there are companies like classic and vintage breaker. who were breaking a ruby a week a couple of years ago on ebay.AND NOBODY BROUGHT IT UP ON THE FORUM. BUT BUT BUT there are also enough private WATERSKY strippers out there.
id like to think we could have a ruby rescue, or even that the clubs could come in and save a few.
if i had the space and a bit more cash, id also look at saving it.
but the reality is, what are we saving it for?
as less people want them as rubys, saving them would mean we would have a barn somewere with a 1,000 rubys slowly decaying.
