It was bought by a Scrap Metal company who buy lots of old knackered cars, then squish them.

The Rover 800 took that same fate, they bought it for Sqaushing.

What a waste - but such is the current relatively high price of scrap metal . . .

It is a sad fact today. Many, Many Cars have gone that way. This Company buys around 20 a Week from us alone. Some of them in a decent condition, such as this Rover 800. They also took a nice tidy Rover 45 Impression today too.

I try not to think about it now, as seeing so many Rover Cars going that way is kind of depressing :(

I know that it could be argued that this car might have polluted more than some newer eco-cars, but in what way is crushing it environmentally friendly?

What a waste..... :(

Any pollution caused by this car had it been put back on the road would undoubtedly have been less than the impact on the environment (pollution, resources etc.) making a new car to replace it will cause.

However, I don't see the point in getting over sentimental about cars like this going to the crusher - the simple fact is, the public at large just don't want them.

That's a good idea . . . except that I fear I may be one of them . . .
