Now, they're as rare as every other old car.

Exactly, sadly. My last notification of a new arrival of any '91 or earlier in my local yards was October November last year. And that whole year they only came trickling in once/twice every 2/3 months.
At least one of the last ones went out with a bit of a bang - a delightful '88 Euro 280se with the short bumpers, manual windows, velour seats, Euro headlights with vacuum level control which I got and the dual climate control which I, very stupidly, left behind.
