    It's interesting how 1990s cars still look good now - the 1992 Ford Escort still looks stunning to the eyes, and so does the adverts fir it on YouTube, compared to a 20 year old car from back then.

    Cars with registration numbers with the letter prefix at the beginning have seemed to left the road now, and I suppose that the scrapyard is the best place to see them these days. In the early 1990s, I still saw Cortinas and other cars with the letter prefix at the end of the registration number, usually ones towards the end of the alphabet such as W, X and Y.

    Amazing how fascinating new cars looked to a 14-15 year old in the 1990s - the Mondeo was the car everyone wanted in 1993 and the Sierra was old hat. The Escort was still up there though.

    Disappearing 1990s cars

    It seems like many cars from the 1990s were once quite common, but are now a rare sight. Examples include:

    Vauxhall Carlton
    Vauxhall Calibra
    Ford Mondeo Mk1
    Renault 21
    Daewoo Espero - has anybody saved one?
    Hyundai S-Coupe
    Chrysler Neon - this car could quietly become extinct
    Nissan Bluebird - made in Sunderland version
    Honda Accord
    Any Rover - hardly anybody is saving 1990s Rovers despite them being the last truly British mainstream cars

    Any other notable examples?
