the ones which were destroyed were the ones owned by the government. They came to the end of their lease, they were withdrawn and because they did not think they were safe to sell on they scrapped them. Same as they scrap wheelchairs or other stuff when it becomes end of life. As has been said they give free road tax and some sometimes some subsidy on conversion costs for regular cars now.

I remember getting blown away by an invacar when I had my 1100 Mk2 escort. The shame!
I tried for a long time to sneak one out of this garage that was scrapping them. I was friendly with one of the mechanics but the answer was always no. They had to witness them being crushed and sign to say they had been destroyed. They used to park them up 20 at a time outside, would have been a doddle to scoot off in one and hide it in a garage. Never had the bottle to though. No escape for these little blue cars in Selly Oak, Birmingham!
