How many MK1s still on the road?

#1 Post by andyborris »

I reckon the MK1 is a very rare car now, anyone know how many are still roadworthy?

Not sure if you can count my car as one of the "rare manual" ones, it's a bitsa (MK2 drivetrain!) so may have started life as a auto.

Was wondering 'cos I see lots Astons and other such stuff while working (I'm a truck driver), but have only ever seen one MK1 in about 15 years!
And it looked like a Rally Rep, it was motoring too!
