1000s OF RARE CLASSIC CARS LEFT TO ROT (scrappage scheme graveyard) 2018

as promised here is the UK scrappage scheme video!!! let me first start off by saying this was very hard to walk away from. Being a classic car enthusiast it was pretty heartbreaking to see all that potential Saturday to rot in eventually become complete scrap. Why are we still here? I have no idea it's something I would love to find out maybe the government knew these ones were going to be valuable in a few years or maybe they're just the last one's to go through the crusher, let me know what you think in the comments below.
A car scappage scheme was introduced in Germany on 13 February 1999 and then in France and Italy. Following a record fall in car sales in the UK and associated redundancies accompanied by lobbying by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders on behalf of UK car manufacturers with support from the UK scheme was introduced in the 2009 United Kingdom Budget on 22 April 2009 by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling. The scheme was supported by Lord Mandelson, the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, and Geoff Hoon, the Secretary of State for Transport.
In September 2009 a further £100m was made available to the scheme which was extended until the end of February 2010.
The scheme had been due to run out of money during October and varies bodies including Engineering Employers' Federation, Uniteand the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders had lobbied for an extension which was announced by Lord Mandelson at the Labour party conference.
On 5 February 2010 the scheme was extended by a month to run until the end of March 2010 or until the funds were exhausted. In the same month the government announced a £230m 'Plug-in car Grant' scheme to provide a £5,000 grant towards the purchase of plug-in electric cars - the scheme will start in January 2011. A separate scheme, 'Plugged-In Places' will provide some 11,000 charging points in selected cities over the next three years.
