To a certain extent Joe is right when he said "there all in the US" however
ours are
concentrated into a much smaller area so thats not the real reason.
In the UK the majority of cars are not used as daily transport only coming
out at
weekends,and even them only if it's dry.
As for Scotland,I work in Pitlochry a popular tourist town.During the last 2
months
I have seen 4 TR6s 15 to 20 MGs (Bs,As,) 20 to 30 Morgans,2 Blower Bentleys
and 5 or 6
Jags. The majority of these cars were from mainland Europe.
My own 71 TR6 is used daily from May to October,but even if you had been
around my area
the chances of seeing the car would have been very slim,I keep it hidden
away while I'm at
work,to many tourists!!!
