The Uk had a scheme to scrap as many polluting vehicles as possible despite their being perfectly usable. Here is a very recent video of a visit to a scrapyard where they lie to rot...and see the group of 944s all headed for oblivion....

Honestly I can't wait till there all gone. Time to let the Boxsters, 996s and early Caymans rule the roster.

I spoke to a friend who owns a Porsche repair shop in the UK. He was saying nearly all the cars there didn't pass MOT or weren't going to pass. The other problem is UK number plated cars can't be sold in continental Europe and there are only so many countries that have RHD or allow imports. The newer looking Defenders and other cars are being held there in storage, auction lot. Lots of false info in that video

They all look like parts cars to me.
