Yeah, i really did wonder about the treasures we'd be losing when the government announced the scrappage scheme. But then again with plans to ban cars over 15 years old from some city centres and freezing of the rolling 25 year tax exemption, is it any surprise really? I dont think this government really cares to be honest :(
