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.
