Hmm, now there's an interesting assertion.  I wonder how the percentages compare, of cars shipped to North America that have been scrapped; to those shipped to the UK and Europe.  Of course, one would have to factor in the steady flow of prime condition cars back over the pond, which has been going on for at least the past 25 years.

Personally, I would guess that gentler climate and lack of MOT in most areas means that the survival rate is somewhat higher over here.  Certainly most of the TRs that I have owned would have been crushed if they had to pass the MOT.
