First abused by Jeremy Clarkson and then it falls into the hands of a violent mob in Argentina. A worst case scenario for any car. “It’s a manual tourer, they are very rare. If people approach me to sell a cherished car, I endeavour to sell it to someone who will continue to look after it in a way the previous owner had. So when the BBC rang and explained they wanted to buy it, I had hopes that it would feature on a series like Morse and be on screen for many years.” Link to "www.telegraph.co.uk" |

Indeed sellers probably not always know the fate of the car, cf what I posted just a little earlier on the Mustang page: /vehicle.php?id=771539#Comment1704537 |

@dsl What site do you use now to check vehicle info? |

This was https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/Default.aspx (which is replacement for old DVLA site). |

Link to "en.mercopress.com" Don't know how credible this is, but seeing as there's been no word about the three cars in 3-4 years and this is the most recent news it looks like they were scrapped. Thats too bad, especially considering that the Lotus was still in decent shape by the end of the special. The same can't be said for the Porsche and the Mustang, those were probably best off as parts cars by the end. It's just too bad the three cars had to end their lives at the shredder. |

DVLA plate info now updated as SORN since 2015 and there is no export marker, and no subsequent MOT. Which suggests it is back in UK, stored somewhere. If it had been scrapped or left in Argentina, it would not be listed as SORN. Same info given for the Lotus and the Mustang. |

@dsl that’s good to hear, I don’t know the UK reg system very well (I’m from the US) and I didn’t know how accurate that article was (Figuring now that it was made up as no author was named), still curious as to what happened to the cars. |

It doesn't prove they're safe, or mean that they'll ever be returned to road use. But SORN is a legal definition within the DVLA system that the car still exists and is in Britain, so applying it to cars which no longer exist is an incorrect procedure. And the export markers have not been triggered, so if destruction in Argentina has occurred, there are 2 false declarations for each car, each of which is a criminal offence. SORN regulations Taking a vehicle out of the UK guidance. It seems clear from all the online gossip about what happened after the riot that there were a lot of crew vehicles and equipment which had to be extricated from Argentina and returned to Britain, so bringing the cars back - even if they were badly damaged beyond economic repair - would have been a small part of a big consignment. |

Jeremy: "Your soft, white, flesh. MINE! ALL MINE! BWHOOOA! BWHOOOA!". Richard:  James: "What are you doing?" Jeremy: "It's a scene! from Butch Cassidy". James: " Yes I can see that. You're not Paul Newman, he really isn't Katharine Ross, and I'm a rubbish scot". -- Last edit: 2019-07-31 02:36:24 |

Article found while searching what happened to the cars: Link to "www.telegraph.co.uk" The previous owner expected the car to be used for years in a normal series, he was not expecting to have his (rare) car destroyed by Top Gear. In that video (in French) that I watched, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yoo-JvCdWI it was said they were destroyed by mutual decision between the Argentinean and British government, in front of Argentinean officials. -- Last edit: 2020-03-05 14:35:47 |

The DVLA website now states that the Porsche had its last V5C logbook issued on 6 October 2020 (usually indicating change of ownership), while the Lotus and the Mustang had theirs issued back in July 2014 around the time the Top Gear team acquired them. Maybe at least the 928 was saved and brought back into the UK? |
